A total of 89 histopathologically proven ocular tumours and tumour-like lesions treated in Hospital University Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan over a period of nine years were reviewed for their age distribution, site of lesion and histological type. The tumours were observed in all age groups with a maximum prevalence in the first decade. Twenty lesions were malignant and 69 were benign. The eyelid was the most frequent location (51%), followed by the conjunctiva (32%). Retinoblastoma was the most common malignant tumour (10 cases) and dermoid cyst was the most common tumour-like lesion (16 cases).
