Abstract

The intricate and delicate structures of the ocular regions play a pivotal role in visual perception. Understanding both the normal anatomy and pathological changes within these structures is imperative for clinicians and pathologists. The rarity and subtle presentations of ocular lesions, coupled with the mimicry of clinical signs by ocular malignancies, pose significant diagnostic challenges. This study aims to explore the histopathological spectrum of ocular lesions within a single center’s clinical experience. This retrospective study was conducted on the patients treated at the Laxmi Eye Institute, with histopathological analysis performed at Dhanwantari Medicare, Kamothe. A total of 72 patients, presenting with discernible ocular symptoms and requiring biopsies, were studied. Among the 72 patients, 41.67% were male and 58.33% were females. The age range of patient was 11‐30 years who had the highest prevalence of ocular lesions. Cystic lesions were the most common (33.33%), followed by lipomatous lesions (23.61%), pathologically benign lesions (22.22%), ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) (9.72%), malignant lesions (5.56%) and inflammatory lesions (5.56%). The study highlights the diversity of ocular lesions and unfolds the importance of a systematic approach to diagnosis and management. Cystic lesions, while often benign, require careful evaluation. Lipomatous lesions and benign lesions necessitate monitoring due to potential growth or transformation. The identification of OSSN and malignant lesions emphasizes the need for early detection and intervention. Documenting the incidence and characteristics of various ocular conditions aids in improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
