Clinical identification of tapioca melanoma of the iris is important because its medical treatment may differ from that of other malignant iris melanomas. The characteristic iris nodules must be differentiated from granulomatous uveitis, metastases, and Lisch nodules (neurofibromatosis). We will discuss the anterior segment findings, secondary glaucoma, and fluorescein iris angiographic and histopathologic data from two patients, one with a single nodular type and one with a seeding type of tapioca melanoma of the iris.
虹膜木薯样黑色素瘤的临床识别很重要，因为其医学治疗可能与其他恶性虹膜黑色素瘤不同。特征性的虹膜结节必须与肉芽肿性葡萄膜炎、转移瘤和Lisch结节（神经纤维瘤病）相鉴别。我们将讨论两名患者的眼前段表现、继发性青光眼以及荧光素虹膜血管造影和组织病理学数据，其中一名患者为单一结节型虹膜木薯样黑色素瘤，另一名为播散型。
