Choroid Oligometastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma: Long-term Follow-up of a Radically Treated Patient

Lung cancer is now the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world and remains the most lethal, responsible for over 1.8 million deaths worldwide in 2022. However, a subset of limited metastatic disease seems to have a better outcome than multiple metastasis. Choroidal metastases of lung cancer usually occur in advanced stages, but isolated lesions have been treated successfully. We report a case of oligometastatic lung adenocarcinoma in the choroid, treated with upfront lung surgery, followed by systemic chemotherapy that did not require local adjuvant radiotherapy and remains free from progression 9 years after surgery.

Abstract

Lung cancer is now the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world and remains the most lethal, responsible for over 1.8 million deaths worldwide in 2022. However, a subset of limited metastatic disease seems to have a better outcome than multiple metastasis. Choroidal metastases of lung cancer usually occur in advanced stages, but isolated lesions have been treated successfully. We report a case of oligometastatic lung adenocarcinoma in the choroid, treated with upfront lung surgery, followed by systemic chemotherapy that did not require local adjuvant radiotherapy and remains free from progression 9 years after surgery.
