Abstract

A 55-year-old man with epidermoid lung cancer and cerebral metastasis has undergone a paliative cranial radiotherapy. The patient complained of pain, redness and blurred vision in the right eye. An ophtalmologic examination showed a mass filling the iridocorneal angle in the nasal side of iris. A diagnosis of metastatic tumor to the iris was made since the mass had morphological features of metastatic tumor and primary tumor was located in the lung. After the external radiotherapy, the patient noted a subjective improvement in complaints, and examination revealed a regression in the size of iris mass.

Özet

55 yaşında erkek hasta kliniğimize epidermoid akciğer kanseri ve beyin metastazı tanısıyla verilen palyatif amaçlı kraniyal radyoterapi sonrasında, sağ gözde ağrı, kızarıklık ve görme azlığı yakınmalarıyla başvurdu. Oftalmolojik muayenede, iris nazalinde, iridokorneal açıdan başlayıp pupillaya uzanan kitle mevcuttu. Kitlenin morfolojik olarak metastatik tümör özelliklerini göstermesi ve primer tümörün akciğerde olması nedeniyle akciğer kanserine bağlı iris metastazı olarak kabul edildi. Eksternal radyoterapi ile hastanın yakınmalarında düzelme ve kitlede küçülme gözlendi.
