title: Adenoma of the iris pigment epithelium.
abstract: The clinical, fluorescein angiographical and histopathological findings of a mucous-producing adenoma apparently arising from the iris pigment epithelium is reported, and the differential diagnosis is discussed. Benign epitheliomas of the iris pigment epithelium are exceedingly rare and are usually heavily pigmented tumors. This appears to be the second documented case of a nonpigmented benign epithelioma of the iris.
