| Nevus of the Iris | |
| Large congenital melanocytic nevus of the iris. Regular photographic controls of potential growth (malignancy) are necessary. (Shown is an infrared image, method used around 1970, which shows the extend of melanin containing cells very prominently). In this patient the findings never changed and there was no glaucoma. The ectropium at 7-12 o'clock is not an indication for malignant transformation. | |
