Abstract
We present the unique case of a patient with a vascular iris lesion consistent with a cavernous hemangioma and central nervous system (CNS) cavernous hemangiomas demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Clinical reports of iris vascular tumors are rare and cases with histopathologic abnormalities are even more uncommon.1 Hemangiomas of the eye are most often associated with posterior segment structures. We could find no previously described association between vascular tumors of the iris and CNS in adults. Most of the modern reports of iris vascular tumors occur in isolation.2,3 There is one case of diffuse congenital hemangiomatosis with a unilateral iris cavernous hemangioma; however, this syndrome appears to be uniformly fatal by age 1 year.
