[Metastasis of the ciliary body and iris from an oropharyngeal carcinoma].

Uveal metastases are the most common intraocular malignancies. The choroid is the most common site for uveal involvement and metastases to the ciliary body and iris are much less common. We describe for the first time a patient with a metastatic tumor of the ciliary body and the iris originating from a squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx and demonstrate the clinical and histopathological characteristics.
