| Epidermoid Cyst of the Iris, Congenital, Histology | |
| Irregular layer of keratinizing squamous cells on the surface of the iris, foreign body giant cells surround keratin. This is a section from a block excision which was performed because of suspected involvement of the chamber angle. The extend of involvement of the trabecular meshwork i.e. ciliary body cannot be determined exactly. Just removing the wall of the cyst is not possible with cystic structures (traumatic implantation, choristoma). Adjacent cornea, iris and ciliary body are part of the wall of the cyst. | |
