CASE REPORT
Ciliary body tumour as the presenting manifestation of metastatic non-small cell adenocarcinoma of lung

We report a rare case of ciliary body metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the lung. Although the metastatic nodule was seen over the surface of the iris near the angle of anterior chamber, ultrasonography confirmed its origin from the ciliary body. Uveal metastasis may be the first sign of lung cancer.
