Abstract

Abstract

A 55-year-old man with epidermoid lung cancer and cerebral metastasis has undergone a paliative cranial radiotherapy. The patient complained of pain, redness and blurred vision in the right eye. An ophtalmologic examination showed a mass filling the iridocorneal angle in the nasal side of iris. A diagnosis of metastatic tumor to the iris was made since the mass had morphological features of metastatic tumor and primary tumor was located in the lung. After the external radiotherapy, the patient noted a subjective improvement in complaints, and examination revealed a regression in the size of iris mass.
