Dr. Mahima Panwar, Dr. Pankaj Sharma

Abstract :

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary malignant tumour of the eye in adults, predominantly found in Caucasians, particularly in those with light–colored irides. The lesion is usually single and unilateral, 85% arising from the choroid and 15% from the ciliary body. Ocular malignant melanomas are infrequently seen in Indian patients .The incidence of this tumour is 0.02 – 0.06% in India and most of them involve the choroid. Ciliary body malignant melanoma is rather rare. It is encountered approximately one tenth as often as is choroidal melanoma. This case report illustrates an occurrence of ciliary body melanoma in an Indian male patient.
