Pigmented ciliary body medulloepithelioma in a newborn infant

Oman J Ophthalmol. 2017 Sep-Dec;10(3):257-258. doi: 10.4103/ojo.OJO_1_2017.

Abstract

Ciliary body medulloepithelioma is a nonpigmented tumor which presents during the first decade of life. It is rarely seen in newborn infants. We report a pigmented medulloepithelioma in a newborn infant, which showed a rapid growth. Ciliary body medulloepithelioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis in a newborn infant presenting with leukocoria.

Keywords: Ciliary body medulloepithelioma; neonate; pigmentation.
