Astrocytoma of the ciliary body.
A healthy 24-year-old man was noted to have rubeosis iridis and a ciliary body mass. Iridocyclectomy successfully removed the lesion with preservation of vision and resolution of rubeosis. Histologic and immunocytochemical examinations revealed a glial tumor of the ciliary epithelium.
