Resumen
GALLEGO, Y et al. Melanocytoma of the ciliary body. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.2, pp.109-112. ISSN 0365-6691.
Clinical case: We report the case of a 25 year old woman who attended our Hospital with a pigmented lesion in anterior chamber angle of her right eye. She complained of reduced visual acuity on the same eye. On examination, and once complementary tests were performed, a pigmented lesion located on the iris root and ciliary body of her right eye was confirmed. A decission to perform a local resection was made and there were no surgical complication. Histology results confirmed the diagnosis of ciliary body melanocitoma. Discussion: Ciliary body melanocytoma is a benign rare lesion with only 40 cases described in the literature. A local resection of this benign lesion should be considered as alternative to enucleation, even though differential diagnosis with malignant melanoma must also be considered.
