Exoresection was considered for tumors with their epicenter in the iris or in the ciliary body.Results: Twenty-two patients with a mean age of 45.9 years (range: 19–72 years) were included in this study. The histopathologic diagnosis was uveal malignant melanoma in 16 patients, iridociliary nevus in 2 patients, iris nevus in 2 patients, and iridociliary melanocytoma in 2 patients. Postoperative complications included cataract in 11 patients (50%), scleral thinning in 4 patients (18%), vitreous hemorrhage in 2 patients (9%), hyphema in 2 patients (9%), secondary glaucoma in 2 patients (9%), iridodialysis in 1 patient (4.5%), bullous keratopathy in 1 patient (4.5%), and posterior synechiae in 1 patient (4.5%). At a mean follow-up of 40.1 months (range: 1–98 months), there were no recurrences or metastatic events.Conclusions: Exoresection seems to be an effective treatment option in selected cases of iridociliary and ciliary body tumors.
