Biliateral iris melanoma/melanocytoma in a 6.5 YO miniature Australian shepherd.


Signalment:  For past 5 years, OS has had a slowly enlarging dark spot on the ventral iris.   Within the past 6 months or so, OD has had a smaller dark spot on the nasal iris.


Clinical findings:  Both eyes have raised dark brown iridal masses--  OS ventral iris, OD nasal iris.  Both eyes are otherwise normal. Ultrasonography and gonioscopy pending.
