title: Spontaneous iris stromal cyst: a case report and review of literature.
abstract: Spontaneous iris stromal cysts are rare and usually are identified early in life. They resemble implantation iris cysts after nonsurgical and surgical trauma; both have an epithelium which usually is conjunctival in nature. However, in spontaneous iris stromal cysts, no ocular trauma history is found. We present a case report and review of literature.
