    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Anterior uveitis is an inflammatory condition of the eye.
    • Iris lesions can have various causes, including infection, inflammation, and malignancy.

    Observation:

    • A 52-year-old male presented with acute blurred vision, ocular pain, and redness.
    • Ophthalmic examination revealed severe anterior uveitis with a distinct white iris mass.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic workup confirmed iris metastasis from a primary lung adenocarcinoma.
    • This represents a rare presentation of extrathoracic malignancy.

    Implications:

    • Ocular metastasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of iris lesions and uveitis.
  • Early detection of metastatic cancer can improve patient outcomes.
