Abstract

This case report presents an 82-year-old woman with decreased visual acuity. Clinical and multimodal evaluation revealed an elevated macular lesion with choroidal thickening. Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed characteristic patterns of choroidal metastasis. Thoracic CT scan confirmed a nodular mass in the right hilus, suggesting bronchogenic neoplastic process. A pleural biopsy demonstrated malignant neoplasia with characteristics of adenocarcinoma, and immunohistochemistry was positive for thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1). These findings emphasize the critical role of ophthalmological examinations in early detection and intervention, as choroidal tissue is highly susceptible to metastasis, particularly from breast and lung cancers. Additionally, the poor prognosis associated with metastatic lung cancer underscores the urgency for prompt action.
