    Journal: Yan Ke Xue Bao; 1997 Dec; 13(4):189-91. PubMed ID: 11326905.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To evaluate the use of ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) in imaging anterior segment tumors of eye. METHODS: 13 cases of anterior segment tumors of eye were examined with UBM. RESULTS: 3 cases had the ocular history of trauma or surgery and were clinically diagnosed as anterior iris cysts. UBM displayed the cysts as thin-walled, no internal reflectivity, and at the locate of anterior humour angle; 8 cases had superficial anterior humour, narrow anterior angle and clinically be suspected as tumors behind iris or ciliary body. UBM showed cystic reflectivity in 7 cases and a solid tumor in ciliary body in one case. 2 cases were clinically diagnosed as iris nevi. UBM displayed solid convex lesions. CONCLUSION: UBM is a valuable new technique in the diagnosis and accurate localization of anterior segment tumors.
