title: Iris metastasis of esophageal cancer.
abstract: Ocular metastasis in patients with esophageal cancer is quite rare. Several cases have been reported in the literature, but no successful treatments for such metastases have ever been described. We herein report a case of esophageal cancer in which the ocular metastasis was controlled by systemic chemotherapy.
