Abstract

THERE ARE COMMON TO RARE OCULAR MALIGNANCIES THAT OFTEN GO MISDIAGNOSED OR UNDETECTED IN REGULAR OPHTHALMIC PRACTICES. EYELID AND OCULAR SURFACE MALIGNANCIES ALTHOUGH BEING MORE CLINICALLY EVIDENT, CAN MIMIC INFLAMMATION OR EVEN BENIGN LESIONS. HOWEVER THERE ARE DEFINITE CLINICAL CLUES AND CHARACTERISTICS THAT CAN AID IN ACCURATE CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS. COMMON ORBITAL MALIGNANCIES CAN ALSO MIMIC ORBITAL INFLAMMATIONS, LEADING TO A DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA AND LATE DETECTION. CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN SPOTTING THE DIAGNOSIS. INTRAOCULAR MALIGNANCIES IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS CAN ALSO MASQUERADE, OFTEN DELAYING THE DIAGNOSIS. OVERALL, IT IS IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY THE ‘RED FLAGS’ IN EVERY LUMPS AND BUMPS OF THE EYE TO AVOID MISDIAGNOSIS. THIS OCULAR TUMOR TEACHING COURSE WILL BE TARGETING THE COMPREHENSIVE OPHTHALMOLOGISTS AND SPECIALISTS TO IDENTIFY THE TELL TALE SIGNS OF OCULAR MALIGNANCIES AND, TO DIFFERENTIATE IT FROM OTHER BENIGN AND INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS.
