“…Our study shows that the histopathological diagnoses of patients from a referral hospital, which may have resulted in biased data, because tumor incidences may differ from those seen in clinical practice in the general population. In this series, melanocytic lesions were the most common (30.91%), which is consistent with other reported series of patients in both children (23-83%) (3)(4)(5)(6) and adults (53%) (7) Conjunctival nevi are the most common melanocytic tumors and are usually occur before 20 years of age. The intensity of the pigment increases in 5% of these tumors, 7% grow in size with increasing age, and less than 1% become malignant.…”
