Metastasis

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Summary

Metastatic lung cancer can mimic eye infections like endophthalmitis. This case highlights advanced lung adenocarcinoma with widespread metastases presenting as severe vision loss and eye inflammation.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oncology
Pulmonology

Background:

Metastatic cancer can present with ocular symptoms, often mimicking primary ocular diseases.
Lung adenocarcinoma, particularly with EGFR mutations, is increasingly recognized for its metastatic potential.

Keywords:

choroidal metastases endophthalmitis lung cancer
