This report details a rare case of bilateral primary ciliary body melanomas in a 78-year-old woman. Both tumors were successfully treated with iridocyclectomy, with histopathology confirming type B spindle cell melanomas.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary ciliary body melanoma is a rare intraocular tumor.
  • Bilateral occurrence of this condition is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 78-year-old woman presented with bilateral primary ciliary body melanomas.
  • The tumors manifested six months apart.
  • Both lesions were treated with iridocyclectomy.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed both tumors as type B spindle cell melanomas.
  • This represents the first reported instance of bilateral ciliary body melanomas.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of vigilant monitoring for fellow eye involvement in ciliary body melanoma.
