title: Bilateral ciliary body melanomas.
abstract: We describe a 78-year-old woman with bilateral primary ciliary body melanomas. The tumours presented 6 months apart and were treated with iridocyclectomy. Histopathological examination revealed type B spindle cell melanomas. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of bilateral ciliary body melanomas.
