A 15-year-old Caucasian male noticed a brown nodule in the inferotemporal aspect of his left eye (OS) for 1 month [Figure 1a]. Nearly 2 years after initial presentation, the lesion had enlarged to 3.5 mm in basal diameter and 3.0 mm in thickness [Figure 1b-d]. Iris melanoma was diagnosed, and the tumor was surgically excised by partial lamellar scleral flap and sector iridectomy [Figure 1e]. This finding was managed with custom designed Iodine125 plaque radiotherapy, delivering transcorneal radiation to the entire anterior segment, including the entire trabecular meshwork [Figure 1f].
