MUINOS DIAZ, Y et al. Symptomatic ciliary body melanocytoma: melanocytomalytic glaucoma. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.79, n.10, pp.511-514. ISSN 0365-6691.

Ciliary body melanocytoma was suspected and conservative management recommended. After 36 months of follow-up the patient developed pain, inflammatory reaction and uncontrollable ocular hypertension, which was diagnosed as melanocytomalytic glaucoma. Tumor was removed by external iridecyclectomy and the histopathologic findings revealed necrotic melanocytoma. Discussion: Ciliary body melanocytoma is a rare benign pigmented tumor that may present extension to the anterior chamber. Differential diagnosis mainly includes ciliary body melanoma, which carries a different prognosis and treatment.
