Abstract
- Intraocular tumors are uncommon and an intraocular metastatic carcinoma is extremely rare. An intraocular metastasis in adults most often originates from the breast or the lung. An intraocular lesion may be the first presentation of cancer and a search should be made to locate the primary tumor. To our knowledge, an intraocular metastasis of a bronchioloaveolar carcinoma has not reported in Korea. We report a case of a bronchioloalveolar carcinoma presenting with the initial symptom of a unilateral visual disturbance due to an intraocular metastasis.
