This paper documents a case of ciliary body hemangioma discovered in the eye of a 72-year-old white man during routine ocular examination. The correct differential diagnosis was not made clinically despite the use of A and B scan ultrasonography and also a fluorescein-angiographic study. This rare tumor was removed by a sector cyclectomy after apparent growth, onset of anterior uveitis and demonstration of fluorescein dye leakage. Histopathologic examination revealed that the tumor consisted of capillaries and large vascular loculi containing numerous erythrocytes. The histopathologic diagnosis was a mixed capillary-cavernous hemangioma of the ciliary body. The results suggest that when a ciliary body tumor is suspected to be malignant, an attempt can be made to excise it. This report encourages the conservative surgical treatment of the ciliary body tumor avoiding the sacrifice of the entire ocular globe.
