Abstract EN

Choroidal metastasis from lung cancer is uncommon.

We report a case of choroidal metastasis as an inaugural manifestation of lung adenocarcinoma, successfully treated by docetaxel, cisplatinum, and intravenous bevacizumab as an antiangiogenesis therapy.

A complete remission was obtained after 4 cycles and maintained after six cycles.

This case report demonstrates the importance of the systemic bevacizumab and chemotherapy in the treatment of choroidal metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the lung.
