Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract:Ciliary body medulloepithelioma is predominantly a pediatric tumor. Incidence of ciliary body tumor in adults is very rare. We report a case of ciliary body medulloepithelioma in an adult. This case emphasizes the need to include in the differential diagnosis of ciliary body tumors in adult. A 53-year-old gentleman presented with complaints of poor vision in the left eye of 2 months duration. He underwent posterior vitrectomy for retinal detachment and uncomplicated cataract surgery in the same eye 10 years ago. He had only hand motion vision on affected left eye with an intraocular pressure of 28 mmHg. There were dilated episcleral vessels on superotemporal, whitish spherical cyst inferiorly in anterior chamber. There were also whitish cystic like mass seen at the vitreous cavity posterior to intraocular lens, not permitting the fundus view. Histopathological examination revealed an epithelial tumor arising from non-pigmented ciliary body epithelium consistent with a benign medulloepithelioma. Keywords:adult, ciliary body tumor; medulloepithelioma
