Congenital iris stroma cysts are rare, often presenting in children. This case highlights a cyst that enlarged over 8 years, mimicking melanoma and necessitating surgical removal.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Congenital cysts of the iris stroma are exceptionally rare ocular anomalies.
  • Most reported cases involve unilateral, translucent iris masses in infants and children.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old female presented with a congenital iris stroma cyst.
  • The cyst demonstrated significant enlargement over an 8-year period.
  • The cyst's appearance evolved, becoming opaque and resembling an iris melanoma.

Findings:

  • The congenital iris stroma cyst enlarged progressively over 8 years.
  • The cyst's opacity mimicked the clinical presentation of an iris melanoma.
  • Surgical excision was required due to the cyst's growth and altered appearance.

Implications:

  • Congenital iris stroma cysts can undergo significant changes over time.
  • Differential diagnosis of iris masses must consider rare cystic lesions.
  • Timely diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent complications like secondary glaucoma and vision loss.
