Disease Medulloepithelioma Etiology Medulloepithelioma is a tumor that arises from the epithelium of the medullary tube, most often the ciliary body. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

The report should endeavor to establish the etiology of a mass if it is not known and describe the full extent of the mass and any region findings that might aid in the differential diagnosis or related complications. [radiologykey.com]

Etiology Most intraocular medulloepitheliomas occur sporadically and are not associated with congenital malformations or cytogenetic abnormalities. [eyewiki.aao.org]
