· Background: To investigate the usefulness of indocyanine green (ICG) iris angiography for monitoring vascular abnormalities
and the clinical course of metastatic iris tumor during chemotherapy. · Methods: We performed ICG iris angiography at several
points during systemic chemotherapy for a 67-year-old man who had been diagnosed as having small-cell carcinoma of the lung
with metastatic iris tumors. · Results: ICG iris angiography clearly demonstrated hyperfluorescent tumor vessels, rubeosis
iridis, and dilated iris stromal vessels. After chemotherapy, these hyperfluorescent vessels and rubeosis regressed. · Conclusion:
ICG iris angiography appears to be an effective and useful method for observing abnormal vessels associated with metastatic
iris tumors.
