  • Title: Adenoma of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium.
    Author: Elizalde J, Ubia S, Barraquer RI.
    Journal: Eur J Ophthalmol; 2006; 16(4):630-3. PubMed ID: 16952109.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report the clinicopathologic features of an adenoma of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium. DESIGN: Single interventional case report. METHODS. A nonpigmented iris and ciliary body tumor was diagnosed in a 66-year-old woman who complained of blurred vision related to a unilateral cataract. A combined cataract surgery and partial lamellar sclerouvectomy was performed. RESULTS: Histopathologic findings disclosed an adenoma of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium. CONCLUSIONS: Unilateral cataract in an adult patient can be rarely related to a tumor growing from the ciliary epithelium. Adenoma of the non pigmented ciliary epithelium may mimic an amelanotic melanoma. Partial lamellar sclerouvectomy is an effective method to manage this condition and to confirm the diagnosis.
