Primary adenocarcinoma of pigmented ciliary epithelium in a phthisical eye SURVEY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY Kumar, J. B., Proia, A. D., Mruthyunjaya, P., Sharma, S. 2016; 61 (4): 502-505

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.
