A fungal infection caused an iris tumor and eye inflammation in a cancer patient. Treatment with voriconazole and surgery successfully resolved the ocular condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Mycology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • A 51-year-old woman with a history of metastatic bowel cancer and ongoing chemotherapy presented with ocular symptoms.
  • The patient exhibited a non-specific iris tumor and intraocular inflammation in the left eye.

Observation:

  • Surgical excision of the iris lesion revealed fungal spores and hyphae.
  • Microbiological analysis confirmed the presence of Candida albicans.

Findings:

  • The patient was treated with both local and systemic voriconazole, an antifungal medication.
  • A combined vitrectomy and cataract surgery was performed.

Implications:

  • Successful management of ocular candidiasis in an immunocompromised patient.
