A 4-year-old spayed female British shorthair cat was referred for abnormal pigmentation on the right iris. The pigmentation was mainly located in the medial portion of the iris. No abnormalities except iris were detected in a full ophthalmic examination. There was no evidence of metastasis after thoracic radiography and abdominal sonography. Enucleation was performed on the right eye and it was sent for a histopathological evaluation. It was confirmed as early stage of feline diffuse iris melanoma (FDIM) with involvement of iris stroma.
