Abstract
Clinicopathologic case report of a boy aged 17 with a ring melanoma of the iris with endothelial overgrowth and glaucoma, with reference to the first case of the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome reported from the same laboratory by Rochat & Mulder in 1924. When a melanoma spreads around the globe within the ciliary body, or around the angle of the anterior chamber, or diffusely over the surface of the iris, it is called a ring melanoma (5).
