Epithelial cyst of anterior segment following cataract surgery.
A 57-year-old male was evaluated 1 year after cataract extraction for a mass in the anterior segment of the eye. Ultrasonography, transillumination, and fluorescein angiography suggested that the lesion was a melanoma. Histopathologically, it proved to be an epithelial cyst replacing a portion of the iris and ciliary body.
