A Case of Pseudoadenomatous Hyperplasia of Ciliary Body Epithelium Successfully Treated by Local Resection

Abstract

A case of pseudoadenomatous hyperplasia of ciliary body epithelium was reported in which malignant melanoma of ciliary body was suspected. Partial resection for histopathology was performed in conjunction with cataract extraction, anterior resection and photocoagulation. Histopathology of the tumor identified as pseudoadenomatous hyperplasia of ciliary body epithelium. Partial resection of ciliary body tumor may be an alternative method for its differential diagnosis rather than enucleation and iridocyclectomy.
