Iris tumors are rare in young patients. When an iris lesion occurs in a pediatric patient, it can be difficult to classify because of the wide spectrum of iris proliferations.
We report on an unusual case of a vascularized iris lesion in a three year old Caucasian patient, with no symptoms and no visual impairment. We evaluated in a 50-month follow up with non-invasive diagnostic tools in order to avoid eye biopsy.
We focused attention on the differential diagnoses and underlined the role of non-invasive diagnostic tools in a child to avoid or postpone the eye biopsy. We performed a review of the literature to identify the best medical practice in pediatric iris lesions with atypical characteristics.
虹膜肿瘤在年轻患者中较为罕见。当儿科患者出现虹膜病变时，由于虹膜增殖的范围广泛，很难进行分类。
我们报告了一例罕见的病例，一名三岁的白种人患者出现血管化虹膜病变，无症状且无视力损害。我们在50个月的随访中使用非侵入性诊断工具进行评估，以避免眼部活检。
我们重点关注鉴别诊断，并强调了非侵入性诊断工具在儿童中的作用，以避免或推迟眼部活检。我们对文献进行了综述，以确定具有非典型特征的儿科虹膜病变的最佳医疗实践。
