Abstract
Three hundred two cases of epibulbar tumors in children were retrospectively reviewed histologically and examined by diagnostic categories over a 49-year period. Of the 302 cases, 33% were choristomas; 29% nevi; 11%, epithelial inclusion cysts; 7%, papillomas; 6%, pyogenic granulomas; and 5% granulomas. Three cases of sqamous-cell carcinoma and one of rhabdomyosarcoma occurred as well as a variety of benign lesions.
