Background: Choroidal metastasis as an initial presenting feature of metastatic lung cancer is exceedingly rare. External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is an effective and widely accepted therapeutic modality. However, data addressing the effectiveness of other treatment strategies is limited. Herein, we present a patient with choroidal metastases secondary to lung cancer and review the relevant literature. Case report: A 25-year-old male presented with deterioration of vision. His evaluation revealed bilateral choroidal metastasis secondary to adenocarcinoma of the lung. Unfortunately, his vision continued to deteriorate despite treatment with EBRT and chemotherapy.Conclusion: Metastatic lung cancer can manifest with choroidal metastasis as an initial presentation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v4i2.6559 Nepal J Ophthalmol 2012; 4 (2): 339-342

Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare tumor of low to intermediate malignancy, which originates from vascular endothelial cells. Most patients with PEH are asymptomatic and the tumor occurs most frequently in women. Typical radiologic images of patients with PEH are multiple irregular nodules with punctate calcification and pleural indentation. Here, we describe a 54-year-old woman who presented with multiple bilateral nodules of different sizes and well-defined borders, as well as lung markings, without punctate calcification or pleural indentation. These atypical computed tomography images resulted in misdiagnosis as metastatic lung cancer. Right upper lobe wedge resection was performed; intraoperative frozen pathologic examination suggested that the tumor was benign. However, immunohistochemical analysis revealed the presence of PEH. Subsequently, the patient chose watchful waiting, rather than chemotherapy. This rare case of PEH with atypical computed tomography findings, which was misdiagnosed as metastatic lung cancer, demonstrates that intraoperative frozen analysis is unreliable; thus, histopathological analysis is necessary.
