	abstract = {PURPOSE: To investigate whether post-corneal transplant tumors are of donor origin, we studied the case of a 29-year-old female corneal transplant recipient who developed tumors in the anterior chamber on the iris of her right eye 7 years after transplantation. METHODS: Because the corneal graft donor was a 53-year-old man whose cause of death was reported as heart failure but who had uremia secondary to a metastatic Grawitz{\textquoteright}s tumor, transmission of his malignancy had to be excluded. One of the patient{\textquoteright}s iris tumors was removed through an incision in the cornea for examination to establish the diagnosis. RESULTS: The histological examination of the iris mass showed the typical picture of a noncaseous epithelioid cell granuloma compatible with the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. The observed post-corneal transplant tumor was clearly not of donor origin. Nevertheless, when tumor growth is observed in an eye after corneal transplantation, transmission of a malignancy has to be excluded. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of sarcoidosis with iris nodules after corneal transplantation. CONCLUSION: Our case report illustrates the importance of keeping reliable medical histories of graft donors and of their use in establishing whether post-transplant tumors are of donor origin. The long-term storage of donor medical records should be recommended because of the importance of being able to access that information even years after transplantation.},
