Abstract

Two cases of primary lung cancer with initial symptoms due to metastasis to the eye or the orbit are reported. Case 1 had orbital metastasis, while case 2 had intraocular metastasis. It has been reported that the survival period is short after the metastasis was found. In our cases, the survived periods for case 1 and case 2 were 3.5 months and one month, respectively.
