  • Title: Nonsmall cell lung adenocarcinoma metastatic to the vitreous without fundus lesions.
    Author: Latkany P, Ciulla TA, Younger C, Gao H.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 2000; 31(2):155-6. PubMed ID: 10743930.
    Abstract:
    A 76-year-old man presented with vitritis in the absence of visible fundus lesions. Vitreal cytologic analysis revealed adenocarcinoma; immunostaining was consistent with a pulmonary origin. This case highlights the need to exclude metastasis to the vitreous in a patient with an oncologic history, even in the absence of visible posterior segment lesions. It also illustrates the utility of immunostaining to better determine the tissue of origin when a metastatic lesion is encountered.
