Abstract

Clinical, histological, and electron-microscopic study of a leiomyoma of the ciliary body, which was removed by cyclectomy from the right eye of a 55-year-old female patient. This is the second case in the literature in which an excision has been performed and the diagnosis been confirmed by electron microscopy. The differential diagnosis between amelanotic malignant melanoma, schwannoma, and neurofibroma is discussed, and the electron-microscopic characteristics of a leiomyoma are demonstrated.
