We analysed 262 consecutive histopathologically proved cases of malignant tumours of the eye and its adnexa seen over a nine year period. Two peaks were observed in the age distribution one in the first decade due to retinoblastoma and another between forty one to sixty years due to malignant lid tumours especially meibomian carcinoma. Males (56%) were affected more often. Intraocular tumours (34%) formed the commonest group of malignant orbito-ocular tumours; lacrimal gland tumours (3%) occurred least frequently. Of the individual tumours, retinoblastoma (32%) was seen most often followed by squamous cell carcinoma (25%). The frequency of meibomian gland carcinoma in Madras was significantly more than in North India. Extra-ocular malignant melanomas out-numbered intraocular (uveal) malignant melanomas. The significance of these observations is discussed.
我们分析了在九年期间连续观察到的262例经组织病理学证实的眼及其附属器恶性肿瘤病例。年龄分布呈现两个高峰，一个在第一个十年，原因是视网膜母细胞瘤；另一个在41至60岁之间，原因是恶性眼睑肿瘤，尤其是睑板腺癌。男性（56%）受影响更为常见。眼内肿瘤（34%）构成了最常见的眼眶-眼恶性肿瘤组；泪腺肿瘤（3%）发生率最低。在各个肿瘤中，视网膜母细胞瘤（32%）最为常见，其次是鳞状细胞癌（25%）。马德拉斯睑板腺癌的发生率明显高于印度北部。眼外恶性黑色素瘤的数量超过眼内（葡萄膜）恶性黑色素瘤。讨论了这些观察结果的意义。
