One hundred four histologically proven malignant tumors of the eye and orbit in children seen in Guinness Eye Clinic, Kaduna, Nigeria between 1975 and 1982 are presented. Retinoblastoma and Burkitt's lymphoma account for the majority of the tumors. The data are compared with those from Ibadan, Nigeria. Burkitt's lymphoma occurs less frequently in Kaduna, whereas the incidence of retinoblastoma is almost the same. Chloroma, which was not seen in Ibadan, accounted for 2.9% of the current series. Factors that may be contributory to the observed differences are discussed.
本文呈现了1975年至1982年间在尼日利亚卡杜纳市吉尼斯眼科诊所所见的104例经组织学证实的儿童眼及眼眶恶性肿瘤。视网膜母细胞瘤和伯基特淋巴瘤占肿瘤的大多数。这些数据与来自尼日利亚伊巴丹的数据进行了比较。伯基特淋巴瘤在卡杜纳的发病率较低，而视网膜母细胞瘤的发病率几乎相同。在伊巴丹未见的绿色瘤占本系列病例的2.9%。文中讨论了可能导致观察到的差异的因素。
