[Iridociliary melanoma with cataract (iridocyclochoroidectomy followed by extra-capsular extraction with pseudophakia)].

Abstract

Description of a case of malignant melanoma of iris and ciliary body in a man of 59 years old. Clinically an interesting sign was the mahogany discolouration of the greyish cataract in the quadrant in front of the tumour. The tumour was removed following the technic of H.-S. STALLARD. Eighteen months later an E.C.C.E. was performed and a "Meur" model of implant inserted (optic in the post chamber and haptics in anterior chamber). Visual acuity in 1989 was 6/6 with glasses and a single binocular vision was recovered.
