A non-contiguous recurrence of the ciliary body melanoma—is cataract surgery a risk factor?

Dear Editor,We would like to present a case of non-contiguous recurrence of ciliary body melanoma following cataract surgery, detected by ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM), three years after ruthenium-106(106 Ru) brachytherapy.Ultrasound biomicrosopy is a crucial tool in analysis of localization, size, and borders of the ciliary body tumours, local invasion, and follow-up after treatment[1]. According to the guidelines[2], examination of treated eyes should be performed every 3-6 mo following brachytherapy, actively searching for complications or tumour recurrence.
