Background. Although it is widely known that lung cancer frequently metastasizes to the brain, lung, bone, and adrenal gland, ocular metastasis is extremely rare. Adenocarcinoma accounts for a large percentage of lung cancers with ocular metastasis and the prognosis of lung cancer with ocular metastasis is reported to be worse. Case. A 72-year-old woman visited our hospital with an abnormal chest shadow. Chest radiography showed a mass in the left lower lobe. A histological examination revealed adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent left lower lobectomy. She was followed-up after surgery; however, it relapsed after six months. In addition to enlargement of the mediastinal lymph nodes, computed tomography showed a left ocular tumor. Surgical resection of the ocular tumor was performed. A histological analysis of the ocular tumor revealed metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion. We report a case of lung adenocarcinoma, which relapsed with ocular metastasis after resection.
