  • Title: Adenoma of the nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body.
    Author: Shields JA, Augsburger JJ, Wallar PH, Shah HG.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1983 Dec; 90(12):1528-30. PubMed ID: 6677852.
    Abstract:
    A 42-year-old woman developed a ciliary body mass which indented the lens equator and produced a dense focal cataract in the right eye. The clinical diagnosis was malignant melanoma of the ciliary body, and the lesion was removed by a large iridocyclectomy. Histopathologic examination revealed an acquired adenoma of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium. The clinical and histopathologic features of this rare intraocular tumor are discussed with emphasis upon its differentiation from malignant melanoma.
