| Abstract | ||
| Eye tumors that are malignant or cancerous originate in another area of the body and spread to the eye especially from the breast, lung, bowel or prostate. The current study was undertaken to determine the proportion of different types of oculo/orbital tumors among people living in Ninevah province in the north of Iraq. The present study has dealt with data from case files of (118) patients with or orbital and /or ocular tumor whom was treated surgically by enucleation or plastic surgery during the period from Jan 1993 up to Dec.2000 most of these tumors had underwent review of their histopathologial examination. Out of (118) cases (59) were malignant and(50) were benign ,the rest were inflammatory. Out of (59 )cases malignant lesions, 18(30.5%) were BCC, with a mean age of 45.5 years ,followed by SCC 17(28.8%) with a mean age of 59 years and then retinoblastoma 12(20.3%) most of them were under 6 years of age with a mean age of 2.5 years. Out of (50 )benign lesions (22) were in the conjunctiva and (25) in the eye lids ,the rest were in the tissues surrounding the eye. Compound naevi were the most common lesion 18(36%) followed by dermoid &epidermoid 11 cases(22%),then squamous papilloma 8 cases(16%) , then capillary hemangioma7(14%) ,the rest were different lesions. As in previously published studies, malignant lesions were more frequent in the eye lids (29)cases compared to conjunctival malignant lesions (9)cases only and the rest were intraocular. Whereas majority of conjunctival lesions were benign (22)cases. In conclusion, the high percentage of malignant lesions that were observed can likely to be attributed to elevated sun exposure and ultraviolet light in Iraq. | ||
