Glaucoma with trabecular melanocytosis.
A case of unilateral glaucoma with ocular melanocytosis was treated by repeated (two) trabeculectomies and iridocyclectomies at the same time to rule out malignant neoplasms. Histologic study indicated the presence of melanocytes typical of ocular melanocytosis. A review of the literature disclosed seven other cases of this kind.
