Abstract

Unilateral or bilateral metastasis to the extraocular muscles is an atypical and rarely known finding in nonsmall-cell lung cancer. A 55-year-old male patient was hospitalized due to complaints of left upper arm and left sided back pain. He underwent a percutaneous CT-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy, and squamous carcinoma of the lung was diagnosed. Because of the nodal metastasis in the opposite lung, the patient was accepted as stage IV and received chemotherapy. Seven months after the diagnosis, the patient was admitted for pain, swelling in the right eye and ptosis of the right upper eyelid. Cranio-orbital computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of the bilateral retrobulber masses which were clinically evaluated as metastatic lung cancer of the extraocular muscles. Due to lack of evidence of optic nerve involvement, he was not treated with radiotherapy and he died 2 months after the retrobulber metastasis was diagnosed.

Özet

Küçük hücreli dışı akciğer karsinomunda (KHDAK) tek taraflı ya da bilateral ekstraoküler kasların metastaza bağlı tutulumu atipik ve az bilinen bir bulgudur. Sırt ve sol kol ağrısı ile hastaneye başvuran 55 yaşında erkek hastaya perkütan transtorasik ince iğne biyopsisi ile skuamöz hücreli akciğer karsinomu tanısı kondu. Karşı akciğerdeki metastatik nodül nedeniyle evre IV olarak değerlendirildi ve kemoterapi başlandı. Tanı konulduktan 7 ay sonra sağ gözde ağrı, sağ göz kapağında düşüklük ve şişme yakınması ile başvurdu. Kranioorbital bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemede (MRG) saptanan bilateral ekstraoküler kasların tutulduğu retrobulber kitle lezyonu metastaz olarak değerlendirildi. Optik sinir tutulumu olmadığı için radyoterapi planlanmayan olgu klinik takibe alındı. Hasta retrobulber metastaz geliştikten iki ay sonra eksitus oldu.
