  • Title: Ipsilateral ciliary body schwannoma and ciliary body melanoma in a child.
    Author: Kiratli H, Ustünel S, Balci S, Söylemezoğlu F.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2010 Apr; 14(2):175-7. PubMed ID: 20451861.
    Abstract:
    An 11-year-old boy presented with a mid-zonal pigment epithelial iris cyst. The cyst progressed relentlessly, ultimately leading to enucleation of the eye 4 years after presentation. Histopathology revealed a ciliary body schwannoma filling the anterior chamber and a small, incidental noncontiguous ciliary body melanoma. Vision loss, pupil distortion, and relentless growth despite complete cyst deflation following aspiration were clues for the tumor-induced nature of the visible cyst.
