Clinicopathological Spectrum of Ocular Lesions

Introduction: Ocular lesions show varied distribution on the basis of geographical location. Eye being a unique sensory organ needs to be studied both clinically and pathologically. This study was aimed to evaluate the histomorphological and clinico-pathlological spectrum of ocular lesions. Aims and Objectives: To study the histomorphological spectrum of various ocular lesions, determine their frequency, age and sex distribution in our study population and compare them with the other studies. We reviewed all the excised ocular les Materials and Methods: ions performed in the Department of Pathology at Basaveshwar teaching and general hospital and also from a private hospital between January 2022 and January 2024. Clinical data was collected from records and histopathological examination of the excised specimens was conducted using standard processing technique . Total of 93 lesions of the ocular region were obtained from patients attendi Results: ng the ophthalmology department. The patients ranged in age group of 20 to 82 years with a male to female ratio of 1:1.4. Ocular lesions were highest in 50-59 years age group. Most common site involved was cornea. Among neoplastic lesions the most common ocular malignancy was squamous cell carcinoma. Among nonneoplastic lesions, maximum cases were of pterygium accounting for 25.8% in our study. The present s Conclusion: tudy showed the pattern of ocular lesions in our population. Different geographic areas had predilection for different ocular lesions. Hence, all the ocular specimens should be subjected for histopathological examinations for accurate diagnosis and further management of patient.
