Lisch nodule, also known as iris hamartoma, is a pigmented hamartomatous nodular aggregate of dendritic melanocytes affecting the iris,[1] named after Austrian ophthalmologist Karl Lisch (1907–1999), who first recognized them in 1937.[2]
The first published use of the term Lisch nodule was in the New England Journal of Medicine "Medical Progress" series article of December 31, 1981 (Riccardi VM: Von Recklinghausen Neurofibromatosis. N Engl J Med 1981;305:1617-27).
