Leiomyoma of the ciliary body of the eye was studied with the help of optical microscope at the ultrastructural level. The tumour was characterized by 4 types of cells: micro immature myoblasts, macro differentiated myoblasts, dystrophically changed muscle cells with lipofuscin inclusions, and fibroblasto-like cells. At the luminous level the differentiation of pigmental granules of melanin and lipifuscin was impeded. At the ultrastructural level they had different morphology, and therefore the differential diagnosis of a slightly pigmented melanoma and leiomyoma is possible.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007889	Leiomyoma	A benign tumor derived from smooth muscle tissue, also known as a fibroid tumor. They rarely occur outside of the UTERUS and the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT but can occur in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, probably arising from the smooth muscle of small blood vessels in these tissues.

D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D002924	Ciliary Body	A ring of tissue extending from the scleral spur to the ora serrata of the RETINA. It consists of the uveal portion and the epithelial portion. The ciliary muscle is in the uveal portion and the ciliary processes are in the epithelial portion.
