Core Tip

Core Tip: Here, we report a rare case of iris metastasis from clear cell renal cell carcinoma. We found that a complete medical history, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry combined with clinical manifestations are crucial for the successful diagnosis of this disease. In addition, a total of 11 cases of iris metastasis from renal tumors were identified in the literature and are reviewed in this report.
