Abstract

The majority of ocular tumors in children are benign, but specific malignant neoplasms pose a risk to both life and vision. It's indeed crucial for pediatricians to be aware of ocular tumors in children, as early detection and proper management can significantly impact the child's health and vision. As a result, swift recognition and timely referral of patients to an ocular oncologist are imperative for effective clinical management. This article provides an overview of general concepts surrounding ocular tumors in the pediatric age group, offering brief insights into the clinical features and management of significant tumors affecting the eyelids, conjunctiva, intraocular structures, and orbit.
