Anterior segment fluorescein angiography allows for the assessment of tumor-associated vascular patterns and demonstrates utility in differentiating iris nevi from melanoma. Feeder vessels were only observed in iris melanoma and were absent in iris nevi. The intrinsic vessels were present more frequently in melanomas and are thus associated with malignancy. Angiographic silence is indicative of iris nevi.
