Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging. 2009 Sep-Oct;40(5):495-7. doi: 10.3928/15428877-20090901-10.

Abstract

The authors report a complete ring cyst of the iris pigment epithelium confirmed by ultrasound biomicroscopy. In this case, ultrasound biomicroscopy effectively excluded the differential diagnoses of ring melanoma of the iris and multiple separate cysts of the iris pigment epithelium.
