Unilateral iris metastasis of cutaneous malignant melanoma
1992
: We describe a case of cutaneous malignant melanoma metastatic to the iris and the angle 31 months after excision of the primary tumor in a 37-year-old caucasian female patient. The patient who had numerous metastases (lung, liver, cerebrum, skin) suffered from secondary glaucoma and died 5 months after the discovery of the intraocular metastases. The glaucoma was treated with medications and cyclocryotherapy. There was no response of the iris metastases to cyclical combined chemotherapy.
