A tumor is defined as a swelling or morbid
enlargement that results from an overabundance of
cell growth and division.
Tumors may be benign and malignant.
Benign tumor: A benign tumor is a non-cancerous
tumor.
Malignant tumor: A malignant tumor is a cancerous
tumor.

3. DEFINITION:
“Ocular tumors are tumors inside the eye. They are
collections of cells that grow and multiply abnormally
and form masses. They can be benign or malignant”

4. TYPES:
1.Benign eye tumors:
Benign eye tumors can grow on the eyelid or within
the wall of the eye.
Pigmented lesions found inside the eye.
Benign eye tumors also can develop from abnormal
growth of blood vessels inside or surrounding the
eye, called haemangioma.

5. 2.Malignant Eye Tumors:
Several types of cancers can affect the eye. Orbital cancers
affect the tissues surrounding the eyeball (called the orbit),
including muscles that move the eyeball and nerves
attached to the eyeball.

6. RISK FACTORS:
1.Age and Race:
Primary intraocular melanoma generally develops in
people over the age of 50,
This type of eye cancer is rare in children and people
over the age of 70.
(Men and women are equally affected by intraocular
melanoma.)

7. 2.Medical History
People who have extra pigmentation of the eye
skin around the eye,
spots like moles in the eye,
multiple flat moles that are irregular in shape or color
are more likely to develop intraocular melanoma.

8. 3.Family History
Intraocular melanoma also sometimes runs in
families.
Usually, it develops due to a mutation or change
in a gene.
Sunlight or certain chemicals may increase the
risk of intraocular melanoma.

9. CAUSES:
BENIGN TUMOR:
Exposure ultraviolet rays from the sun.
Virus
Others appear due to a change related to aging.
genetic
Freckles and growths inside the eye
congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment
epithelial layer.

That occur after birth.
