|
|
Purpose: To report a patient with melanocytoma of the ciliary body.
Methods: A 52-year-old woman, who transferred from a private ophthalmic clinic to our hospital after a cataract operation due to a mass behind the iris, was evaluated. The patient had a dark brown mass with a smooth surface confirmed by ultrasonogram, CT, and MRI. The mass was removed by en bloc resection.
Results: The tumor had a gross finding of a dark brown, soft, and smooth surface 0.5×0.5×0.5 cm in size. Histopathologic examination revealed a melanocytoma originating in the ciliary body. There was no evidence of metastasis.
Conclusions: A very rare ciliary body melanocytoma was discovered with a good surgical result obtained by its removal.
