Ciliary body medulloepithelioma is rare congenital tumor. It develops from the non-pigmented ciliary body epithelium. It occurs mainly in the first decade of life. The clinical examination of the ciliary body is difficult that leads to a significant delay in diagnosis, until enlargement of the tumor, which produces secondary effects. The exact diagnosis is only made on histopathologic examination that found elements to differentiate between medulloepithelioma teratoid and non-teratoid, benign or malignant ones. Enucleation is the preferred method of treatment for advanced intraocular mass. Ciliary body medulloepithelioma have an excellent prognosis. The authors propose to describe a case of this rare tumor revealed by strabismus.
