목적 : To describe the clinical characteristics of leiomyoma in the ciliary body (CB) or ciliochoroid in 6 eyes and confined to the choroid in 2 eyes.
방법 : We retrospectively investigated the medical records of 8 patients who were diagnosed with leiomyoma in the uveal tract and underwent follow-up examinations. Clinical characteristics of leiomyoma were analysed with respect to tumour location.
결과 : The patients with leiomyoma in the choroid showed poor visual acuity due to accompanying retinal detachment. Of the 6 patients with leiomyoma in the CB or ciliochoroid, 5 patients underwent lamellar sclerouvectomy and showed good visual outcome with minimal complications. One patient with leiomyoma confined to the choroid underwent surgery to obtain biopsy specimens; 24 months after the biopsy procedure, tumour regrowth was first evident. After then, the tumour continued to grow and the patient subsequently showed gradually decreasing visual acuity.
결론 : Lamellar sclerouvectomy of leiomyoma in the CB or ciliochoroid showed effective results. However, study data yielded no suitable treatment for leiomyoma confined to the choroid. We observed an increasing trend in the size of leiomyoma confined to the choroid in a non-enucleated eye.
