Abstract

Introduction:
Ophthalmic pathology is a subspecialty of histopathology that deals with the diagnosis and characterization of eye diseases. Ophthalmic pathologists study tissues excised by ophthalmologists through evisceration, enucleation and other small biopsies. Ophthalmic lesions include a wide spectrum of lesions ranging from benign, and premalignant to malignant lesions. The diagnosis of these lesions is based on the clinical as well as histopathological features.
Aim:
This study was conducted to evaluate the histomorphological and clinicopathological spectrum of ophthalmic lesions at a tertiary care hospital.
Materials and Methods:
An observational prospective study was carried out in the Department of Pathology from January 2018 to September 2018. A total of 40 specimens of the orbit-ocular region were obtained from in-ward patients of the ophthalmology department. These were studied as per epidemiological and histomorphological data.
Results:
We studied a total of 40 histopathological specimens in the age group of 2 years to 82 years with a bimodal distribution. The male to female ratio was 2:1. Around 27.5% of lesions were seen in
