Abstract:
Intraocular metastasis of metastatic carcinoma is relatively rare, although it is the most common malignancy affecting the eye. Choroid is the most commonly involved site, whereas iris is involved very infrequently. The most common primary tumor of the intraocular metastasis is the breast cancer in total and lung cancer in men.To our knowledge, intraocular metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma has not reported in Korea. We experienced two lung cancer patients who had developed a metastaticlesion to the iris and choroid,so we report these with the review of related literatures.
