Conjunctival and limbal tumours

One hundred cases of histologically proven corneal and conjunctival tumours were extracted from the records at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and from the senior author's private practice in the last ten years. The tumours were analysed according to Duke-Elder's classification. There were 78 epithelial tumours, 15 pigmented naevi, four melanomas, two dermolipomas and one limbal dermoid. Fourteen of the 41 epithelial carcinomas were followed for three years or more. None of the 14 recurred.
