An intraocular paraganglioma?
A tumour of the iris with the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of a paraganglioma is presented. Neither this type of tumour, nor the specialized nerve cells giving rise to the tumour, have previously been reported in the eye. A successful local resection was performed. The diagnosis and concept of paragangliomas are discussed briefly.
