Abstract

A 20 year old female presented with a mass over the right iris with decreased visual acuity. Clinical examination revealed a ciliary body mass. Iridocyclectomy was performed. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry proved the mass to be a Mesectodermal Lieomyoma of the Ciliary Body. Ciliary body mesectodermal leiomyomas are rare, benign smooth muscle tumors which need to be differentiated from the malignant lesions. These tumors display a mixed myogenic and neurogenic morphology on microscopy. This case report presents a clinical, microscopical and immunohistochemical features of mesectodermal leiomyoma.
