Spontaneous cysts of the ciliary body.

چکیده
ALTHOUGH comparatively rare, spontaneous cysts of the ciliary body have evoked numerous contributions to the literature. The diagnosis is essentially clinical and differentiation from a melanosarcoma may be very difficult. These cysts were well named pseudo-melanosarcomata by Pagenstecher (1910). Before the report of Fischer (1920), the diagnosis of such cysts had been established only by histological examination of enucleated eyes. Since then, Elschnig (1925), Olsson (1944), Scheie (1954). and Grignolo (1954) have also reported cysts of the ciliary body as a clinical finding in otherwise normal eyes.
