    Description
    Large tumors displace the lens. Of the 3 locations in the uveal tract, tumors of the ciliary body have the worst prognosis. This enucleation specimen shows a pigmented, bilobed, dome-shaped tumor arising from the ciliary body (arrow). The lens has been removed, and a diffuse, flat retinal detachment artifact is present.
