Mesectodermal leiomyoma of the ciliary body. An ultrastructural study
Archives of Ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
|November 1, 1985
Summary
Electron microscopy revealed smooth muscle cell ultrastructure in a ciliary body tumor, supporting its mesectodermal leiomyoma classification. Melanocytes present suggest neural crest origin.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pathology
- Cell Biology
Background:
- Mesectodermal leiomyomas are rare tumors originating from cells of neural crest origin.
- Understanding their ultrastructural characteristics is crucial for accurate diagnosis and classification.
