  • Title: [Differential diagnosis of some iris tumors (author's transl)].
    Author: Nover A.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1981 Dec; 179(6):399-401. PubMed ID: 7343717.
    Abstract:
    The development of changes in the iris, with unexpected histologic diagnoses, is described. One patient was found to be suffering from bilateral iris nodules, the unexpected manifestation of a Boeck's sarcoid which had not been diagnosed. In another case, the growth observed in the size of the tumor seemed to indicate malignancy, although histology showed it to be a benign leiomyoma with increasingly cystic changes. In the third case we suspected a metastasis of a bronchial carcinoma but histologic examination showed it to be a malignant melanoma. The various differential diagnostic considerations are discussed.
