INTRAOCULAR TUMORS
Specialist evaluation is essential in any suspected case of an intraocular tumor.
What are intraocular tumors?
Eye tumors can appear on the eyelids, in the eye, and in the orbit. A retina specialist treats tumors located in the choroid or retina (intraocular).
Tumors can be primary eye tumors or metastatic (originating from another part of the body). Among primary tumors, retinoblastomas are the most common in childhood, while melanomas are the most common in adulthood. Among metastatic tumors, breast cancer is the most common in women, and lung cancer in men. Sometimes, tumors in other parts of the body, such as cutaneous melanomas or lung cancer, can be accompanied by retinal lesions of immunological origin. These are known as paraneoplastic syndromes.
Intraocular tumors can be silent: an eye exam is key
