The clinical and ultrasound biomicroscopic features of two cases of iris melanocytoma are evaluated. On ultrasound biomicroscopy examination, iris melanocytoma appears as a highly reflective nodular mass with a smooth or irregular surface and sharp and well-defined edges. Ultrasound biomicroscopy also allows clear visualization and measurement of the tumors. These findings were compared with clinical and histopathologic findings.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features surgical technique, early and long-term outcome with or without surgery, and histopathological findings of melanocytic anterior uveal lesions in young dogs.
Methods: Medical records of dogs at a guide dog facility removed from training due to a pigmented iris lesion were reviewed from 2014 to 2021. Selected dogs had surgical iridectomies performed.

A 21-year-old, suspected female captive ferruginous hawk (Buteo regalis) was followed for 3 years due to an iridial mass of the left eye (OS) that progressively increased in size. Enucleation of OS was eventually recommended due to the iridial mass taking up approximately 75% of the anterior chamber, and the bird seemed less active. A complete physical examination, complete blood cell count, biochemistry, and survey radiographs were performed pre-surgery with no findings indicating metastasis.

Introduction: Anterior uveal melanocytoma (AUM) pose a diagnostic challenge as they can mimic growing melanomas. Establishing a definitive diagnosis of melanocytoma necessitates cytologic or histopathologic confirmation. We describe the clinical presentation and characteristics of fifteen pathologically proven AUM cases and assess the role of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) as a safe and effective tool for diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- The cornea needs to be transparent for proper light transmission, and any loss of this transparency can lead to vision problems.
- Corneal pigmentation happens when melanin builds up in the cornea's epithelial cells, and various conditions like corneal sequestrum and limbal melanocytoma need to be ruled out to diagnose it accurately.
- Multiple eye surface issues, including tear film deficiency and breed-related syndromes, can be linked to corneal pigmentation, so it's essential to pinpoint the exact cause for effective treatment.
