Published: June 2010

A solitary synchronous distant metastasis of newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) occurs in only a small number of patients. The available literature suggests a significant rise in long-term survival for these patients when resection of the bronchial carcinoma and the metastasis are feasible and performed. To demonstrate a multidisciplinary concept, we present the case of a patient with a peripheral NSCLC and a solitary synchronous intraocular metastasis. To our knowledge, this concept with curative intention has not been published before regarding a patient with an intraocular metastasis.
