This is a long-term follow-up case report of a 71-year-old man with lung adenocarcinoma and choroidal metastasis harboring an epidermal growth factor receptor mutation. Blurry vision, caused by the choroidal metastasis, improved with first-line treatment with afatinib. Thereafter, osimertinib was administered as a second-line treatment, then chemotherapy containing pemetrexed plus bevacizumab as a third-line treatment. For 61 months, recurrence of choroidal metastasis was absent. Only a few reports of lung cancer with choroidal metastasis provide long-term follow-up of more than five years. Therefore, the clinical course of this patient may provide some insights for long-term management in such cases.
Keywords: bevacizumab; choroidal metastasis; egfr-tki; epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr); lung cancer; ocular metastasis; pemetrexed.
