Abstract
The eye, optic nerve, eyelids, lacrimal apparatus, and the orbit may harbor a remarkably diverse number of congenital malformations, infectious diseases, metabolic abnormalities, posttraumatic and degenerative lesions, as well as benign and malignant neoplasms. In this chapter, the most common conditions that may come to the attention of general surgical pathologists are emphasized. Retinoblastomas are the most common malignant ocular tumors in children, while uveal melanomas are the most common primary intraocular tumors in adults. Malignant lymphomas may affect the conjunctiva, the orbit, and the eye. Lacrimal gland tumors do not differ morphologically from those in the salivary glands.
