The authors describe a 62-year-old man with a malignant nonteratoid malignant medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body with extension into the anterior choroid and posterior chamber. He developed gradual loss of vision in his right eye, and a clinical diagnosis of malignant melanoma of the ciliary body and choroid was made.
Histopathologic examination of the enucleated eye showed a malignant nonteratoid medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body with extension into the anterior choroid and posterior chamber.
This report provides clinicopathologic evidence that intraocular medulloepithelioma can occur rarely in an adult. The lesion clinically may mimic a malignant melanoma. The authors also summarize five previously reported cases of this unusual lesion.
作者描述了一名62岁男性，患有睫状体恶性非畸胎性髓上皮瘤，并蔓延至脉络膜前部和后房。他右眼视力逐渐丧失，临床诊断为睫状体和脉络膜恶性黑色素瘤。
摘除眼球的组织病理学检查显示为睫状体恶性非畸胎性髓上皮瘤，蔓延至脉络膜前部和后房。
本报告提供了临床病理证据，表明眼内髓上皮瘤在成年人中很少见。该病变在临床上可能类似于恶性黑色素瘤。作者还总结了此前报道的5例这种罕见病变的病例。
