Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Mesectodermal leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare tumor.
  • Ciliary body tumors require careful diagnosis due to potential malignancy.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old female presented with decreased visual acuity.
  • A large, dome-shaped tumor was detected in the ciliary body via imaging.
  • Malignant melanoma was initially suspected due to tumor size.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination revealed a mesectodermal leiomyoma.
  • Immunohistochemical stains showed co-expression of muscular (SMA, caldesmon, desmin) and neural markers (S-100, synaptophysin).

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in ciliary body tumors.
