Abstract
A 57-year-old man developed a ciliary body mass, clinically diagnosed as ma lignant melanoma of the ciliary body, that produced a cataract in the right eye. Treatment was cataract surgery with sclerouvectomy performed simultan eously. Pathohistologic examination revealed an acquired adenoma of the non pigmented ciliary epithelium. The clinicopathologic features and treatment of this tumor are discussed. J Cataract Refract Surg 2001; 27: 956-959 (C) 2001 ASCRS and ESCRS.
