OBJECTIVE: To report on a patient with clear gelatinoid deposits on the iris and in the anterior chamber (AC). DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: Examination of AC aspirate and iris and conjunctival biopsies by light and transmission electron microscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical and histopathological findings. RESULTS: Analysis of the aqueous humor and iris ultrastructure disclosed the presence of urate deposits. CONCLUSIONS: Urate deposition in the iris and anterior chamber rarely occurs.
