A 13-month-old child presented with iris heterochromia, buphthalmos and spontaneous hyphema. On further examination, a temporal cystic ciliary body lesion associated with rubeosis iridis was found adjacent to the lens. A clinical diagnosis of medulloepithelioma was made, and the eye was enucleated because of concern for malignancy, the presence of anterior segment neovascularization and discomfort. Medulloepithelioma was confirmed by pathology exam.
