Uveal melanoma is the most common primary malignancy of the eye in white adults. Frequently, uveal melanoma arises from choroid or iris. Ciliary body melanoma is a rare if not exceptional subtype of uveal melanoma. Furthermore, ciliary melanoma is often seen in association with the other two subtypes of uveal melanoma. This paper presents a case of primary ciliary melanoma with invasion of the iris. The patient presented with blurred vision, but this symptom could not doubtless be related with the existence of the tumor, because of the small dimension of the malignancy and the lack of medical history of the patient.
