Ciliary body tumor and cataract: local resection combined with phacoemulsification

A 57-year-old man developed a ciliary body mass, clinically diagnosed as malignant melanoma of the ciliary body, that produced a cataract in the right eye. Treatment was cataract surgery with sclerouvectomy performed simultaneously. Pathohistologic examination revealed an acquired adenoma of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium.
