title: Presumed iris metastasis from abdominal neuroblastoma.
abstract: A 2-month-old infant had a retroperitoneal tumor and increased levels of vanillylmandelic acid and homovanillic acid in the urine, indicating an abdominal neuroblastoma. Two whitish masses that were noted on the left iris regressed in synchrony with the primary tumor mass as therapy was administered. We believe that our patient represents the third reported case of iris metastasis from abdominal neuroblastoma.
