Abstract
Case report

We report the cases of 2 women with a pigmented tumor in the ciliary body, one a melanocytoma and the other a melanoma, with different clinical manifestations. The first one presented with decreased visual acuity associated with recent growth of the tumor, as well as sectorial opacities of the lens and subluxation. The second one is asymptomatic and has been kept under observation for more than 30 years.

Discussion

Although the definitive diagnosis of a pigmented tumor of the ciliary body is only achieved by the histopathology study, the group of clinical features is a determining factor when a conservative treatment is indicated.

Resumen
Casos clínicos

Se presentan dos casos de mujeres con una tumoración pigmentada en cuerpo ciliar, un melanoma y un melanocitoma, con diferentes manifestaciones clínicas. La primera refiere disminución de agudeza visual asociada a la tumoración de reciente aparición, así como subluxación y opacificación sectorial cristaliniana. La segunda está asintomática y ha permanecido en observación más de 30 años.

Discusión

Aunque al diagnóstico definitivo de un tumor pigmentado del cuerpo ciliar solo se llega a través del estudio anatomopatológico, el conjunto de características clínicas es determinante cuando se plantea un tratamiento conservador.
