Intraocular myofibroblastoma tumour of the ciliary body: a case report and literature review

Abstract

Abstract Background Inflammatory Myofibroblastoma Tumors (IMTs) are extremely tumour rare in the intraocular. Case presentation A ciliary body tumor was found under slit lamp biomicroscopy in a 55-year-old male first diagnosed with cataract. Then this patient underwent trans-sclera resection via partial lamellar sclerouvectomy and par plans vitrectomy to remove the mass. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry findings showed that the characteristics of the tumor were consistent with IMT. Conclusions We reported a rare case of intraocular IMT, which is confirmed by H&E staining, and IHC positive staining for Vimentin, Desmin and ALK, while negative staining for SMA, S-100, ki-67, CK, CD68, and calponin.
