Clinical evaluation of primary peripheral cysts of the iris

R C Trevino et al. J Am Optom Assoc. 1994 Mar.

Abstract

Background: Peripheral primary cyst of the iris is an uncommon benign condition that may masquerade as a tumor of the ciliary body. Careful examination utilizing the slit lamp and gonioscopy is necessary to successfully differentiate the two.

Conclusions: Given their uncommon occurrence and the importance of ruling out melanoma or other malignancies, this review is a guide in the evaluation and diagnosis of patients with this condition.
