Ciliary body medulloepithelioma associated with fungal endophthalmitis (clinical observation)

This article presents two clinical cases of medulloepithelioma of the nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body, an extremely rare congenital intraocular tumor that may follow either a benign or malignant course. In the presented cases, late disease manifestation was observed in the presence of similar medical histories and comparable clinical and instrumental findings; in both cases, histopathological examination revealed fungal flora. The article also discusses epidemiological aspects, clinical manifestations, and morphological features of this pathological condition, aiming to improve early diagnosis and enable organ-preserving treatment.
