Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Iris stroma cysts are uncommon, particularly in adults.
  • Distinguishing spontaneous cysts from epithelial invasion is clinically significant.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old female presented with a slowly enlarging iris stroma cyst in her right eye.
  • Sector iridectomy was performed due to slight enlargement over 10 weeks.
  • Histological examination revealed a cyst lined by epithelium resembling conjunctival or corneal cells.

Findings:

  • The cyst was intrastromal, not epistromal, supporting a spontaneous origin.
  • The clinical course was benign with normal ocular function and intraocular pressure.
  • No recurrence was observed after a 4-year follow-up period.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare instance of a spontaneous iris stroma cyst in an adult.
  • The findings contribute to understanding the etiology of iris cysts, differentiating spontaneous from secondary origins.
  • Further investigation may be needed to definitively rule out occult intraocular epithelial invasion.
