Abstract:
A case of congenital ectodermal iris cyst was presented, which occured in the right eye of a 26-year-old Korean male. Congenital iris cyst is a rare cyst of iris. Decreased visual acuity and white small sized mass at the pupillary margin of the right iris were his chief complaints prior to his visit to hospital. Visual acuity was O.D. 0.4, O.S. 1.2 and I.O.P. was normal. Surgical removal was successful and lost in follow up. Histology confirmed the lesion to be congenital ectodermal iris cyst.
