Abstract

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.
