Abstract

Acquired tumors of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium are rare diseases. They are difficult to diagnose and present as pseudoadenomatous hyperplasia, adenoma or adenocarcinoma. They exhibit slowly progressive enlargement leading to a subluxated lens, cataract, and secondary glaucoma. And some of the more malignant tumors may extend extrasclerally. We report a case of adenoma of nonpigmented ciliary epithelium which produced a cataract.
