The article presents two clinical cases of adenocarcinoma of nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body, which is a very rare malignant tumor of the organ of vision with distinctive features. Surgical treatment is necessary to verify this tumor and assess the degree of its aggressiveness in terms of the prognosis of the disease, with subsequent pathomorphological and immunohistochemical studies. The article also discusses the epidemiological aspects, morphological features, clinical manifestations of this pathological condition, as well as possible treatment options and features of follow-up monitoring of this group of patients.
