Ciliary body melanoma is a rare type of eye cancer that originates in the ciliary body, a part of the eye located behind the iris. This tumor develops from melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment in the eye. Symptoms may include blurred vision, eye pain, or changes in the appearance of the eye. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, imaging tests, and sometimes a biopsy. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, or laser therapy, depending on the size and location of the tumor. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes in managing ciliary body melanoma.
