PURPOSE
Metastatic carcinoma of the eye is a common sequela of widespread dissemination of malignancy. Metastasis to the iris is less frequent than that of the cilliary body and choroid. We report a case of iris metastasis in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: 57-Year-Old man was seen in the department of ophthalmology because of blurred vision in his right eye for seven days. The patient had a metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer in the brain. Trabeculectomy and iridectomy were performed due to secondary glaucoma. RESULTS: The case was diagnosed as iris metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer by the clinical and histopathologic findings.
