Slit-lamp examination and ultrasonography revealed an iridodialysis of nearly 40 degrees and a ciliary body mass with widespread pigment dispersion in the anterior segment (Figure 2).
Light microscopy views.. Notes: (A) A pigmented mass in the ciliary body (40x), (B) involvement of trabecular meshwork by the tumor cells (100x), and (C) round to oval bland cytologic features of tumor cells (400x). They show prominent nucleoli (arrows) and marked cytoplasmic melanin pigments.
