Case Report: A 72-year-old man referred for evaluation of a uveal melanoma was revealed with primary prostate adenocarcinoma metastatic to the choroid.
Comments: Differential diagnosis of choroidal tumours may be difficult but should include both uveal melanoma and metastatic carcinoma to the uvea. Proper diagnosis and treatment is of great relevance for increasing survival rates.
Objective: Mesectodermal leiomyoma of the ciliary body is a rare tumor with, to our knowledge, only 15 cases reported in the literature. It has a neural histopathologic appearance and a presumed origin from neural crest.
Design: Case report.
We report 2 patients with stable keratoconus and high myopia who benefited from implantation of an iris-supported phakic intraocular lens (Verisyse, AMO) for correction of their refractive error. Both patients had a postoperative uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40. Endothelial cell density showed at most a 4% decrease, and no evidence of keratoconus progression was witnessed.
