The challenges of iris tumor biopsy assessment AB - Uveal melanoma is the most common primary malignancy of the eye in adults. It may involve the choroid and ciliary body, and in only 2-3% of cases it involves the iris. We present a case of a 56-year-old patient with a 6-year history of unilateral, inflammatory, refractory glaucoma of the right eye. Due to acquired heterochromia and heterogeneous thickness of the iris, iris melanoma was suspected, but the incisional biopsy did not confirm the diagnosis. In the next months, the lesion enlarged and the eye globe was enucleated. Histopathological examination revealed an iridociliary melanoma with annular growth pattern.
