Metastatic tumor of the iris: case report.
The iris involvement in generalized carcinomatosis is less frequent than that of the ciliary body and choroid; its point of interest is that it might constitute the presenting sign of the general disease. The case of a 43-year-old man who had a metastasis of an anaplastic bronchus carcinoma in the iris and died of metastases 3 months after the appearance of the iris tumor, despite adequate chemotherapy, is reported.
