Objective:
To analyze the histogenesis, classification, incidence, clinical feature, the key point of differential diagnosis and histopathologic characteristics of ciliary body neoplasms to provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Method:
52 specimens of ciliary body neoplasms on file were analyzed and studied for the characteristics of clinical presentation and histopathology.
Results:
Of the 52 specimens, 38 were located in the ciliary body (73.1%), and 14 lesions involved the iris (26.9%). According to the results of histogenetic classification, the tumors of ciliary sensory epithelium were ranked the first place (20 cases, 38.5%) while malignant melanoma, the second one (14 cases, 26.9%) followed by melanocytoma (9 cases, 17.3%) and granulomatous lesions (5 cases, 9.6%).
Conclusion:
The clinical features and histopathologic characteristics of ciliary body neoplasms are systemically and deeply recognized, that may help clinical ophthalmologists to make correct diagnosis and proper treatment.
