Abstract
Metastatic tumors of the iris are rare. They most commonly arise from a primary breast or lung neoplasm and are associated with widespread c ar carcinomatosis, They appear as white pink masses; anterior uveitis and hypertony can be seen. They are most often associated with short L ife expectancy. We report four cases and we show the interest of radio therapy.
