Abstract
PURPOSE: To document progressive growth of a benign iris melanocytoma.METHODS: Interventional case report. A 9-year-old male underwent removal of a pigmented iris tumor that had been documented photographically to double in size.RESULTS: Histopathologic sections revealed a deeply pigmented mass with cytologic features typical of a melanocytoma.CONCLUSION: Although iris melanocytoma is generally a stationary lesion, it can show progressive growth. Such enlargement does not necessarily imply malignant transformation of the lesion.
