Iridociliary melanoma – Clinical case

چکیده
Iris and ciliary body melanoma is an aggressive tumor, which, unfortunately, presents symptoms only in advanced stages and is often discovered accidentally during a routine eye examination. There are several treatment options, ranging from in time monitorization in order to observe the tumor's evolution to more aggressive methods such as radiotherapy and enucleation. We present a case of iridociliary melanoma, who underwent conservative surgery, iridocyclectomy under scleral flap, with good results, and maintenance of the function and integrity of the eyeball.
