Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a case of metastasis to the iris from endometrial carcinoma. METHOD: Case report. A 67-year-old woman with a history of endometrial carcinoma and local recurrence after surgery presented 11 months later with two yellow-pink nodules on the iris of the right eye. RESULTS: Systemic medical evaluation demonstrated no other metastases. The iris tumors were removed surgically, and histology demonstrated adenocarcinoma consistent with endometrial carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Endometrial carcinoma can metastasize to the iris. This possibility should be considered because the frequency of endometrial carcinoma is increasing.
