Abstract
Ciliary body tumor is a rare intraocular tumor. Due to its unique anatomical location, its correct diagnosis and reasonable treatment are very difficult problems. In terms of diagnosis and differential diagnosis, ophthalmologists need to fully utilize the role of slit lamp microscope and transillumination experiment to capture secondary changes in the anterior segment caused by hidden ciliary body tumors, such as monocular localized cataract, lens indentation, and pigment dissemination, etc. Ophthalmological imaging methods, especially ultrasound biomicroscopy, can achieve the purpose of early detection and early diagnosis. According to the size, location and morphological characteristics of the tumor, a reasonable treatment plan is formulated. Since ciliary body tumors are mostly benign, the recurrence rate of local resection is low, which can satisfy the pathological diagnosis and preserve part of the patient's vision. Therefore, eye-preserving treatment should be advocated. However, enucleation remains the treatment of choice for tumors that are too large to be treated with local excision or radiation, eyes with refractory glaucoma, and tumors that do not respond to radiation therapy.
