Popis: An epithelioma was removed from the iris and ciliary body of a six-year-old girl by a partial irido-cyclectomy. Three months later recurrence of the tumour was seen in the equatorial zone of the fundus. Three weeks after application of transscleral cryotherapy around the neoplasm, a chorio-retinal resection of the tumour area in the fundus was performed. The postoperative healing was satisfactory. Re-examination 16 months later revealed a healthy eye. The results indicate that a circumscribed tumour can successfully be resected from the fundus.
