Abstract
PURPOSE:We studied a case of a pigmented adenoma of the ciliary epithe lium. METHODS: We used magnetic resonance imaging in the clinical diag nosis of this tumor. RESULTS: The tumor was successfully treated by lo cal excision, CONCLUSIONS: Magnetic resonance imaging is most useful i n evaluating a ciliary body mass for local extension. It cannot clinic ally distinguish a pigmented adenoma of the ciliary epithelium from a uveal melanoma.
