The association between unilaterally elevated IOP and intraocular tumors has been appreciated for years. Although intraocular neoplasms are infrequently encountered in general ophthalmology practice, the ophthalmologist has an excellent opportunity to identify presenting signs of malignancy, including glaucoma, and to seek additional consultation or to make an appropriate referral if warranted to an oncular oncology center. The presence of intraocular cancer represents one of the few situations in ophthalmology in which delay in diagnosis or inappropriate surgical intervention can not only threaten vision, but life as well.
