A Pigmented Adenoma of the Ciliary Epithelium Examined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Purpose We studied a case of a pigmented adenoma of the ciliary epithelium. Methods We used magnetic resonance imaging in the clinical diagnosis of this tumor. Results The tumor was successfully treated by local excision. Conclusions Magnetic resonance imaging is most useful in evaluating a ciliary body mass for local extension. It cannot clinically distinguish a pigmented adenoma of the ciliary epithelium from a uveal melanoma.
