Primary adenocarcinoma of pigmented ciliary epithelium in a phthisical eye

Jaya B Kumar et al. Surv Ophthalmol. 2016 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the pigmented ciliary epithelium arising in a phthisical eye. A 92-year-old man who initially presented with severe ocular pain had calcification extending from the posterior pole to ciliary body on B-scan ultrasonography to a degree not previously reported. We highlight the importance of screening for intraocular neoplasms in adults with a long-standing phthisical eye.

Keywords: malignant transformation; phthisis; primary adenocarcinoma of pigmented ciliary epithelium.
