ABSTRACT
CASOS CLÍNICOS: Se presentan tres pacientes jóvenes vistos en nuestro servicio con diagnóstico de mamelones de iris. Dos de los casos eran bilaterales, sin asociación familiar. El tercero presentó mamelones de iris en el contexto de una melanocitosis ocular. Ninguno mostró asociación con anomalías en el polo posterior o en la paquimetría. Discusión: La presencia de mamelones de iris en una exploración, tanto como hallazgo casual como en el contexto de una melanocitosis ocular, requiere del seguimiento a largo plazo de estos pacientes por su posible asociación con el melanoma de úvea
CLINICAL CASES: We report the cases of 3 young patients who were seen in our hospital with the diagnosis of iris mammillations. Two of them were bilateral without familial association. The third child had iris mammillations as part of an ocular melanocytosis. None of them had abnormalities in the posterior segment or the pachymetry. DISCUSSION: The discovery of iris mammillations during an examination requires a long term follow up of these patients due to its association with uveal melanoma. This is required whether it is a casual discovery or in the presence of ocular melanocytosis
