Most iris tumors behave benignly, reflecting their small size and the high proportion of nevi and spindle A melanomas. Of 1,043 reported iris melanomas, 31 metastasized (3%). Metastasis from a spindle A melanoma is not known to occur despite documented growth and local recurrence after excision. If
BACKGROUND
Iris melanocytoma (IM) is a rare benign tumor, but unavoidable in differential diagnosis of pigmented iris lesions. According to the best knowledge of the authors it is for the first time in Serbia that a well-documented case of IM is presented and that the problem of this tumor is
OBJECTIVE
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Iris melanoma comprises 4% to 10% of all UMs and has a lower mortality rate. The genetic changes in iris melanoma are not as well characterized as ciliary body or choroidal melanoma. The aim of this study was
We report the case of a 69-year-old asymptomatic woman who presented with the incidental diagnosis of a prominent, vascular, reddish tumor of the iris. The tumor displayed significant regression within months but reappeared years later with a similar morphology. Fluorescence angiography of the iris
A 50-year-old white man with oculo(dermal) melanocytosis and longstanding iris nevus was found to have growth of the iris mass. Excision and histopathologic examination revealed a mixed cell type malignant melanoma. Benign nevus cells were present at the periphery of the tumor surrounding the entire
Congenital iris defects may usually present either as subtotal aniridia or colobomatous iris defects. Acquired iris defects are secondary to penetrating iris injury, iatrogenic after surgical excision of iris tumours, collateral trauma after anterior segment surgery, or can be postinflammatory in
Intraocular leiomyomas are uncommon and usually occur in the ciliary body. Primary leiomyoma of the iris is both rare and a difficult diagnosis to make, given melanocytic tumors are more common and may be amelanotic. The somewhat controversial diagnosis of iris leiomyoma requires further
We are presenting a case of diffuse (ring) iris melanoma with secondary glaucoma, together with the differential diagnosis issues. The tumor extension and the high IOP imposed the enucleation of an eye that still had a good visual acuity. The pathology confirmed the diagnosis and showed the
