ABSTRACT
The authors report the clinical and histopathologic findings of a rare case of melanocytoma of the ciliary body. The pigmented ciliary body tumor was found in a 40-year-old man, with a clinical diagnosis of melanoma of the ciliary body. Histopathologic examination after enucleation showed typical features of melanocytoma. This case illustrates the pattern of ciliary body melanocytoma to help in the differential diagnosis of pigmented tumors of the ciliary body.
