Abstract

We reviewed 23 iris melanomas for iris color and gross tumor pigmentation. Patients with iris melanoma had lighter irides than both population controls (x2 = 58.0; P less than .0001) and other patients with uveal melanoma (x2 = 17.1; P = .002). Amelanotic and lightly melanotic tumors occurred predominantly in the patients with light irides.
