AUDIVERT HUNG, Yailin et al. Clinical, histological and pathological diagnosis of tumors of the ocular adnexas. MEDISAN [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.4, pp.544-550. ISSN 1029-3019.

An observational, descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study of 92 patients with ocular tumors of the adnexa who visited the Oculoplasty Department of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2008 to January, 2009, aimed at determining the most frequent types in these tumours, through biopsies to confirm histopathologically the suspected diagnosis. Advanced age, male sex and the white color of the skin prevailed in the investigation; also, all the affected patients presented an increase of volume, although most were asymptomatic. Tumors were frequently located in the lids (52.2%) and, in a lower number, in the conjunctiva (45.7%) with predominance of the basocelular carcinoma as malignant tumor and the vulgar wart as benign lesion, in a lower number in the first ones, as well as of the benign pigmented lesions and the pyogenic granuloma

Keywords : tumors of the eye adnexa; lids; conjunctiva; basocelular carcinoma; ophthalmological services.
