PRIMARY tumours of the iris have lately excited much attention and there are a number of interesting studies in the recent literature. Duke and Dunn (1958) carried out a pathological and follow-up examination of 43 iris tumours; Rones and Zimmerman (1958) studied a selected group of 38 melanotic, or potentially pigmented, neoplasms treated by iridectomy only; Cleasby (1958) followed up 21 cases of malignant melanomata of the iris; Reese and Cleasby (1959) analysed a series of 157 cases of malignant melanomata with special regard to treatment and prognosis, and Jensen (1963) reported upon a small series of ten such cases. A histological and follow-up study of cases ofprimary tumour of the iris from this Department is now reported, in which the analytical methods of the above workers have beenclosely followed in order to provide data as nearly comparable as possible. Some of the findings dealingwithmalignant melanomatawere reported at the meeting of the European Ophthalmological Society in Vienna (Ashton and Wybar, 1964).Material and Methods The present study is based on the analysis of 145 primary tumours of the iris. Secondary tumours, including those where involvement of the ciliary body prevented a confident diagnosis of a primary origin in the iris, were excluded from the study. All cases were drawn from the records of the Department of Pathology, Institute of Ophthalmology, London, between the years 1945 and 1962. Cases where the slides were no longer available were rejected and the remainder were categorized histologically; follow-up informationwas obtained from the pathologists and ophthalmologists who had originally sent the specimens to thedepartment.
