Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oncology

Background:

Iris and ciliary body melanoma is an aggressive ocular tumor.
Symptoms typically manifest in advanced stages, often discovered incidentally during eye exams.

Observation:

A case of iridociliary melanoma is presented.
The patient underwent conservative surgical treatment: iridocyclectomy under a scleral flap.

Findings:

The surgical intervention yielded positive outcomes.
The function and integrity of the eyeball were successfully maintained post-surgery.

Implications:

Conservative surgery, such as iridocyclectomy, is a viable treatment option for iridociliary melanoma.
This approach can achieve good results while preserving ocular function.
