Medullo-epithelioma (diktyoma) of the eye.

Medulloepithelioma (diktyoma).

Sixteen cases of medulloepithelioma are described. Clinical data and follow-up were available on 15. Four patients underwent iridocyclectomy initially; all later needed enucleation and one had an orbital recurrence. The remaining 12 patients underwent primary enucleation. All 15 patients with follow-up are alive with no evidence of tumour recurrence. It is suggested that enucleation be performe...

On the Classification and Grading of Medulloepithelioma of the Eye

Medulloepithelioma is a rare congenital tumor of the ciliary body and iris. The current classification and grading of medulloepithelioma shows inconsistencies and does not reflect clinical behavior. This position paper discusses the backgrounds of the current classification and intends to initiate a discussion on an alternative classification and grading scheme. © 2016 The Author(s) Published b...

Medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body: ultrasonographic biomicroscopic findings.

ntraocular medulloepithelioma is an uncommon embryogenic neoplasm of neuroepithelial origin that usually develops from the nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body, retina, and optic nerve.1 Clinically, medulloepithelioma usually appears as a tumor of the ciliary body; only rarely does it arise in the optic nerve and retina. It frequently occurs on the ciliary body of a young child as a fles...
