Abstract:
We report the case of a 3-year-old girl who presented with an elevated, darkly colored, subconjunctival lesion found to be a ciliary body cyst with extrascleral extension. The patient was treated with excision of bulbar conjunctiva, sclera, and the ciliary body cystic lesion. The defect was repaired with a scleral patch graft. The patient had a small recurrent cyst after 15 months of postsurgical follow-up, and the procedure was repeated. There was no recurrence at follow-up 1 year after the second surgery.
