ABSTRACT
We report a case of large iris melanocytoma in a child diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. In this interventional case report, cytologic features typical of melanocytoma were obtained by fine needle aspiration biopsy [FNAB]. FNAB can be used in difficult diagnostic cases if a good sample is obtained, this technique has an accuracy of more than 99% in tumors larger than 3 mm; however, false-negative and false-positive results may be obtained. Its risk of local spread is very small, an advantage over incisional biopsy. The most common complication is intralesional hemorrhage and hyphema.

Late complications following penetrating keratoplasty are multiple. They include, among others, cataract, glaucoma, graft vascularization, suture abscess, graft rejection, epithelialization of the anterior chamber, high astigmatism, transmission of donor disease to recipient, recurrence of original host pathology in the graft, vitreous adhesion and sequelae and cystoid macular edema. We treated a patient who developed a spontaneous active bleeding in the anterior chamber six months after corneal transplantation
