چکیده
CASE REPORT We report the clinical features and surgery of a patient with an adenoma of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium. The adenoma measured 5 × 7 mm. The patient underwent radical ocular surgery consisting of partial iridocyclectomy associated to lamellar sclerouvectomy. DISCUSSION Adenomas of ciliary body can mimic clinically amelanotic melanomas. We present details of the patient's medical records and review the literature. Clinically, adenoma in ciliary body can mimic amelanotic melanomas. Conservative surgery of the eye allows diagnosis and treatment, maintaining visual function.

Histoanatomical study of the lens and ciliary body in ostrich eye
In the present study, the lenses and ciliary bodies of 20 ostrich eyes were studied macroscopically and microscopically. The histological slides were studied after staining by hematoxylin and eosin, Verhoeff, Van Gieson, and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). Posterior surface of lens was more convex than its anterior surface. The average lens diameter and thickness were respectively measured as 1.43 ...
متن کاملCiliary body adenoma of non-pigmented epithelium.
Adenomas of the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body are rare neoplasms and most of the studies are in the form of case reports. There are only 27 documented cases of acquired neoplasm of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium (NPCE) reported in the English literature. In most reports, there was a clinical suspicion of melanoma and the diagnosis of NPCE adenoma was made on histopathologic...
متن کاملAdenoma of the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body with smooth muscle differentiation: a unique case report
Adenoma of the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body (ANPCE) is a relatively uncommon lesion usually presenting in the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body, which belongs to the neuroectodermal origin. Histologically, this tumor consisted of sheets, cords, and tubules occasionally forming glandular configurations. The cells of the tumor had abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm with ro...
متن کاملConnexin43 is required for production of the aqueous humor in the murine eye.
Connexin43 is a major component of the gap junctions between pigmented and non-pigmented cells of the double-layered epithelium in the ciliary body of the eye. We directly tested the hypothesis that gap junctions play a crucial role in the production of the aqueous humor by inactivating the GJA1 (connexin43) gene in the pigmented epithelium with cre-loxP technology. To accomplish this, we cross...
متن کاملBestrophin 2 is expressed in human non-pigmented ciliary epithelium but not retinal pigment epithelium
PURPOSE Mice in which bestrophin 2 (Best2) is disrupted exhibit changes in aqueous flow and drainage, resulting in a reduction in intraocular pressure in comparison to wild-type mice. Best2 encodes a putative anion channel localized uniquely to the basolateral plasma membrane of non-pigmented epithelium cells in mice. In this study, we examine the localization of Best2 in the human eye. METHO...
