Abstract
In 1889, Hulke1described nineteen cases of cyst of the iris. Two of these involved the uveal layer. In the case quoted from Wharton Jones,2a delicate cyst protruded from the posterior into the anterior chamber. It followed a penetrating wound of the cornea received a year and a half before. In another case, quoted from Bosteels,3a history of previous injury or inflammation was not obtained, the duration was probably about eighteen months, and the cyst was opaque and brown, while the iris was blue. In 1892, Greeff4reported a case of cyst of the iris lined by pigment epithelium, which occurred after the extraction of a cataract. The eye was removed because of iridocyclitis, and the cyst was examined microscopically. In 1893, Collins5reported nine cases of cyst of the iris. Among them, three involved the pigment layer of the iris. OneKeywords
