Of these, 583 patients left against medical advice. So, clinical data of 2068 patients were completely analyzed. Lesions were managed medically and/ or surgically. Final clinical diagnosis, with the help of histopathology, was used to classify the lesions.ResultsThere were 1258 (60.9%) adults and 810 (39.1%) children, 1358 (65.66%) were neoplastic while 710 (34.33%) non-neoplastic lesions. Amongst the neoplastic lesions, 405 (29.8 %) were benign and 953 (70.2%) malignant. Primary orbital lesions were 1676 (81.04%), Secondary orbital lesions were 300 (14.51%), Endocrine/ hematopoietic reticulo-endothelial system lesions were 84 (4.06%) and Metastatic lesions from distant organs were 08 (0.39%).ConclusionRetinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, optic nerve gliomata were common in children. Pleomorphic adenoma & adenocystic carcinoma of lacrimal gland, cavernous hemangioma, optic nerve meningioma, neurofibroma, schwannoma, squamous cell carcinoma of eyelid, carcinoma of maxillary antrum and lymphomas were more common in adults.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
