Uveal metastasis is the most common intraocular malignancy. Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies that metastasize to uvea. Iris involvement is rarely reported. Here we report a case of iris metastasis from pulmonary adenocarcinoma that was treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT). A 65-year-old Chinese man was referred to our hospital for iris white neoplasm and blurred vision for 2 weeks in his right eye. His accepted pulmonary lobectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for pulmonary adenocarcinoma 1year ago and liver metastases were found 2 months earlier. At presentation, anterior segment examination of the right eye showed a hypopigmented, vascularized papillary 3.8 *3.19mm neoplasm located on the temporal iris expanding to 9-clock anterior chamber angle. The patient refused to accept MRI, biopsy and treatment. One week later the tumor grew up to 5.5*7.4mm with diffuse mixed conjunctiva congestion and elevated IOP. A modified PDT was applied. Intravenous verteporfin (3mg/m2) was infused with a 1min bolus. PDT with 3 partly overlapped 5mm laser spots, 689nm (50J/cm2) and 166s were performed 4 minuets later without contact lens. The neo-genesis vessels were occluded with small patch bleeding on the edema tumor that was separated from the anterior chamber angle in the 3days follow-up. PDT may be a safe, noninvasive and psychologically well-accepted treatment for iris metastasis.

Objective: To observe the clinical and pathological features of uveal metastatic carcinoma. Methods: It was a retrospective case series study. The clinical manifestation, growth pattern, tumor types and relative pathological features of 13 patients visiting from January 1980 to December 2014 with uveal metastatic carcinoma in Tianjin Eye Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results: There were 13 cases, 6 cases of male and 7 of female. Age was from 37.0 to 66.0 years old. The mean age was 52.1 years old. all cases were monocular. There were 5 cases with right eye and 8 cases with left eye. Among 13 cases, 10 tumors were in posterior choroid, one tumor was in anterior choroid and ciliary body, 2 tumors were in the iris. There were 5 patients with lung cancer, 4 patients with breast cancer, 1 patient with prostate cancer, 1 patient with thyroid cancer and 1 patient with esophageal cancer. The primary tumor wasn\'t found in 1 patient. The rapid decrease of visual acuity showed in 10 patients with posterior choroidal metastatic carcinoma, 8 of them accompanied with extensive retinal detachment and 6 of them had secondary glaucoma. The multiple gray-white nodule or pink cauliflower mass on the papillary margin of iris were showed respectively in 2 patients with iris metastatic carcinoma. The pathological examination found that posterior choroidal metastatic carcinoma mainly located in temporal or nasal side choroids in 10 cases, among them, local or diffuse flat choroidal masses showed in 6cases, extensive mass involving choroid and ciliary body showed in 1 case, large nodular or globular choroidal mass showed in 2 cases, choroidal mass surrounded the optic disc in 1 case, optic nerve invasion showed in 3 cases and extraocular or orbital invasion showed in 3 cases. The scleral and subconjunctival invasion showed in 1 case of anterior choroid and ciliary body metastatic carcinoma. Conclusions: Uveal metastatic carcinoma manifested various growth pattern, the rapid decrease of visual acuity, flat or nodular choroidal solid mass, secondary retinal detachment and glaucoma were common clinical features. Some cases might invade extraocular or orbital tissue. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2016, 52: 769-774).

OBJECTIVE: Adenoma of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium (ANPCE) is extremely rare. The aim of this study is to present our experience in treating this rare entity and to determine the long-term surgical outcomes of local tumor resection (partial iridocyclectomy with lamellar sclerouvectomy) in five cases of ANPCE in China.
METHODS: The medical data of four women and one man ranging in age from 28 to 46 years (median, 38 years) with ANPCE were reviewed retrospectively at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University, China. All patients had received local tumor resection and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination.
RESULTS: All five cases experienced blurred vision. The right eye was affected in four cases and the left in one. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed a nodular, non-pigmented, gray-white mass with a slightly irregular surface. Tumor invasion through the peripheral iris was observed in two patients, two patients had multiple iris or ciliary cysts, and one patient had a partially bloodstained cornea. All tumors transmitted light readily. Ultrasound biomicroscopy showed a middle- or hyper-echoic solid mass in the ciliary body. MRI examination showed the tumor hyperintense to vitreous on T1WI and hypointense to vitreous on T2WI. Local resection was performed in all cases. After a median of 5.0 years of follow-up, no tumor recurrence was present in any of the cases and all involved eyes were saved. The visual acuity improved seven lines in three cases, decreased one line in one case, and vision was lost in one case.
CONCLUSIONS: ANPCE often presents in adults as gray-white in color, with an irregular and sometimes multilobulated surface. The tumor transmits light well. Local resection of the mass generally provides the patient with useful vision. Recurrence after surgical removal is unlikely.

OBJECTIVE: Cavernous hemangioma of the iris is rarely seen,which can be presented with spontaneous hyphema.
METHODS: In this report,we described a case of an iris cavernous hemangioma treated surgically,and the histopathological findings were also presented.
RESULTS: Slitlamp biomicroscopy showed a lobulated, reddish-blue temporal iris mass. Anterior segment OCT presented a circumscribed mass of iris stroma at the papillary margin. Histopathologic examination revealed a benign tumor composed of large blood-filled vessels.
CONCLUSIONS: The present case highlights the features of iris cavernous henagioma and demonstrates the histopathological findings.

OBJECTIVE: Uveal schwannoma is a rare benign neoplastic proliferation of pure Schwann cells. The purpose of this study was to describe MR imaging features of uveal schwannoma.
METHODS: MR images in 6 female patients with uveal schwannoma confirmed by pathologic examination were retrospectively reviewed. MR imaging was performed in all 6 patients, with postcontrast T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) completed in all 6 patients and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, in 5. MR imaging findings of the tumor were evaluated with emphasis on the location, size, shape, margin, signal intensity, and pattern of enhancement.
RESULTS: The lesions appeared as solitary well-defined ovoid masses in the ciliochoroidal region in 5 patients and in the choroid in 1. With respect to the vitreous body, uveal schwannoma was hyperintense on T1WI spin-echo (SE) images in all 6 patients. The tumors were hypointense to the vitreous body on fast SE (FSE) T2-weighted images (T2WI) in 4 patients and isointense in 1. However, with respect to the brain, uveal schwannoma demonstrated isointensity on T1WI SE images in all 6 patients, isointensity on FSE T2WI images in 5 patients, and hyperintensity on T2WI SE images in 1. On postcontrast T1WI images, 3 patients showed markedly heterogeneous enhancement, and 3 showed markedly homogeneous enhancement.
CONCLUSIONS: Uveal schwannoma should be included in the differential diagnosis when an oval isointense mass relative to brain is seen in the ciliochoroidal region.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical features, different diagnosis, pathological features, management, and prognosis of tumors of the iris and ciliary body.
METHODS: Medical records, photographs, pathological findings and the results of follow-up of 37 cases with tumors of the iris and ciliary body were reviewed as a retrospective study.
RESULTS: Of the 37 cases with tumors of the iris and ciliary body, 26 were male and 11 were female. The mean age at diagnosis was 38 years, ranged from 5 - 64 years. According to the histopathological examination, melanoma was the most common tumor in the iris and ciliary body (15 cases, 40.5%), followed by metastatic tumors (8 cases, 21.6%), teratoid medulloepitheliomas (3 cases, 8.1%) and iris nevus (2 cases, 5.4%).
RESULTS: The tumors were excised in 14 cases. Enucleation was performed in 21 cases. Two cases were observed without any surgical treatment. Thirty-four cases were followed-up for 2 months to 15 years, averaged 31 months. Most melanomas of the iris and ciliary body are round or semi-spherical dark brown vascularized mass, with engorged episcleral sentinel vessels in some cases. The tumor showed a shadow during transillumination. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed a low to medium echoic solid lesion, with echoic changes in adjacent infiltrated tissues. Melanoma showed positive immunoreactivity for melanoma-specific antigen, and had a good prognosis. Metastatic tumors of the iris and ciliary body were flat or near round, dirty, single or multiple neoplasms, growth rapidly, with abundant neovascularization, and had a poor prognosis. Primary carcinomas could be found in other parts of the body.
CONCLUSIONS: Melanoma of the iris and ciliary body has typical features that may help to distinguish them from other tumors. Metastatic tumor has characteristic features, but the diagnosis can be made only with supplementary examination and immunocytochemical studies. Medulloepitheliomas should be differentiated from retinoblastoma.
