Abstract Background To report undescribed characteristics of patients with bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) on ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and high-frequency B-scan ultrasonography. Case presentation Two of four participants presented with worsening bilateral vision after previously diagnosed primary pulmonary or ovarian carcinoma. The other two patients were diagnosed with lung carcinoma after presentation with BDUMP. All patients had ciliary body nevi-like lesion in combination with iris or ciliary body cysts, and uveal thickening on UBM. Focally elevated choroidal nevi-like lesion and exudative retinal detachment with choroidal thickening were detected with B-scan ultrasonography. Conclusions Our case series demonstrates the uveal characteristics of patients with BDUMP based on high-frequency B-scan ultrasonography and UBM. Ultrasonographic findings are crucial in the diagnosis of BDUMP because it is occult in nature.

A 32-year-old man presented with bilateral diminution of vision for 10 years. Visual acuity was light perception in both eyes with inaccurate projection in the oculus dextrus(OD) and accurate projection in the in oculus sinister (OS). Intraocular pressure was 6 and 12 mm Hg in the OD and OS, respectively. Slit-lamp examination revealed the presence of leucomatous corneal opacification with microcornea in oculus uterque (OU). Both eyes had a dislocated nucleus in the vitreous cavity on ultrasound B-scan with advanced cupping in the right eye. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed ciliary body atrophy in the OD and preserved ciliary processes (two quadrants) in the OS. In view of a partially preserved ciliary body function and a potential for gaining useful vision, we planned surgical intervention in the left eye. Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty with pars planavitrectomy (PPV) and phacofragmentation of the nucleus was done. Donor lamellar graft was sutured after completion of PPV and nucleus fragmentation. The patient regained useful ambulatory vision postoperatively with clear corneal graft.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the iris and ciliary body is extremely rare. We present a case which was misdiagnosed as granulomatous uveitis with neovascular glaucoma, and underwent a trabeculectomy with mitomycin-c along with iris biopsy. The post-operative period showed early bleb failure and catastrophic growth of the suspected mass. Histopathological examination revealed a diagnosis iris plasmacytoma. Subsequent ultrasound biomicroscopy showed involvement of the iris and ciliary body. A prompt systemic workup was done, and an associated systemic plasma cell dyscrasia was ruled out. The affected eye was enucleated, and the patient remains disease free at the end of 3-year follow-up.

Orbital pseudotumor is a benign disease involving the orbital structures. Pseudotumor of the ciliary body is rare. We present a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with gradual visual loss, pain, and redness in his left eye. On examination he was found to have a yellowish white mass at the periphery of anterior chamber in his left eye and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a ciliary body mass in the same eye. He was treated with systemic steroids, which was tapered over a period of 8 weeks. His symptoms improved and the ciliary body mass disappeared with no recurrence over the next 6 months. UBM is an important diagnostic tool for diagnosing ciliary body mass. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment with systemic steroids may help resolve pseudotumor of the ciliary body.
