Discussion: Iris melanocytoma is a rare variant of iris nevus with typical clinical features. Although the tumor is benign, it can spread to the surrounding structures, causing glaucoma and giving an erroneous impression of melanoma. Iris melanocytoma presents as a darkly-pigmented iris nodule with mossy, irregular surface. Iris melanocytoma usually has been considered to be a relatively stationary lesion. Demirci et al. (1) found that growth occurred in 23% of the patients at 5 years and 48% at 10 years. Literature: (1) Hakan Demirci, Arman Mashayekhi, Carol L. Shields, Ralph C. Eagle Jr, Jerry A. Shields.
