Abstract:

Conjunctival tumors account for vast majority of keratoconjunctival tumors. The primary cornea  tumors are very rare. Common benign tumors are dermoid, melanocytic nevi, and dermolipoma. Common malignant tumors are squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and lymphoma. Histopathology examination is the "gold standard" for tumor diagnosis. In recent years, with the development and applications of in vivo confocal microscopy, it  can also provide a reference value for determining the nature of the lesion. Observation is a common  choice for  management of most benign, asymptomatic tumors. If  a  malignant transition tendency is observed, both surgery and histopathological examinations are needed as soon as possible. For clinical suspected malignant tummors, the most common treatment is local extended resection and cryotherapy. Sometimes, it may need to be combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or even enucleation or evisceration to save the patient's life.   (Int Rev Ophthalmol,  2015,  39:     394-400)
