Abstract-Text Purpose

We would like to report an unusual case of a nonpigmented ciliary body adenoma diagnosed incidentally during phacoemulsification.


Methods

A 59-year-old male patient underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery. Intraoperatively, a whitish mass lesion causing anterior dislocation of the iris was noted. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed a well circumscribed round tumour of the pars plicata of the ciliary body exhibiting an irregular high internal reflectivity. Incisional biopsy was performed for diagnosis.


Results

Histopathology showed adenoma of the nonpigmented ciliary body. There were no malignant changes noted.
One year follow-up with ultrasound biomicroscopy has shown no growth and the patient retains full vision without any complications.


Conclusion

Ciliary body adenomas are an uncommon entity and might pose a differential diagnostic challenge. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy or incisional biopsy can be done to establish a diagnosis. After histopathological confirmation of the diagnosis sequential follow-up with ultrasound biomicroscopy should be considered. These tumours should be sequentially monitored for growth or complications.
