ABSTRACT
Intraocular metastases from the lung are a common occurrence and an important differential for cytopathologists reading fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB). It is a particularly challenging diagnosis when the patient has had no previous diagnosis of lung cancer. We present two cases of intraocular metastases from lung primaries, and we discuss the clinical, radiological, and cytopathological features that help differentiate intraocular metastases of lung primary from other intraocular tumours, in the setting of FNAB. We also discuss the importance of recognising the spectrum of FNAB cases that can be seen specific to an institution, which may vary according to different patient populations. A thorough metastatic workup and ancillary testing, such as IHC or molecular genetics, ensures an accurate diagnosis.
