چکیده

The adenoma of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium is a benign rare tumor, which may present with different clinical characteristics and requires resection along with histopathologic analysis and the identification of specific immunohistochemical markers for an accurate diagnosis. Here, we report a case series of 4 patients in a Mexican mestizo population with this diagnosis, their clinical features, the ultrasound imaging characteristics and the histopathological and immunohistochemical findings.

A 35-year-old man underwent successful iridocyclectomy for a ciliary body mass that was subluxating the lens and causing a secondary cataract. Histopathologically the mass proved to be a spindle cell tumor, but leiomyoma and melanoma were initially considered to be diagnostic possibilities. However, further studies and immunohistochemical studies revealed that the tumor probably arose from the ...

Depression of intraocular pressure following inactivation of connexin43 in the nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body.

PURPOSE Conditional inactivation of connexin43 (Cx43) in the pigmented epithelium of the mouse eye results in a reduction in aqueous humor production and complete loss of the vitreous chamber. It was proposed that gap junctions between pigmented and nonpigmented epithelia of the ciliary body are critical for the production of the aqueous humor. To form such junctions, Cx43 in the pigmented epit...
