Juxtapapillary Tumor as Lung Cancer’s First Manifestation

Abstract

Introduction: Metastatic carcinoma is the most prevalent intraocular neoplasm among adults. Usually, the ophthalmologist is the first physician detecting the spread of neoplasia, which in this case occurred as the first manifestation of lung cancer. Delayed diagnosis of this type of cancer leads to low rate survival over 5 years. Juxtapapillary ocular metastasis is a very rare lung cancer presentation, even rarer as the first manifestation of primary neoplasm. The aim of this report is to describe the occurrence of a juxtapapillary intraocular tumor as lung cancer's first sign.
