Abstract

Conjunctival lesions in children are nearly always benign. The most common are conjunctival nevi. The rare malignant conjunctival tumors in children are usually larger and appear at an older age. Children with xeroderma pigmentosum are a unique group in whom malignant conjunctival tumors can occur at an early age. In this review, we describe common and rare benign and malignant conjunctival lesions in children, grouped by tissue of origin.
