“…African women have increased risk probably due to their higher prevalence of HIV and HPV infections (5). This result contrasts many studies that reported a higher male prevalence (19), (32), (30). Higher incidence of OSSN in male gender is associated with increased exposure to ultraviolet rays during outdoor work (33), however may also be attributed to racial background, with males predominating in Caucasians (34) (32).…”

“…Different findings have been reported in Australia (68.9 years) (27), in UK (71 years) (28), in Taiwan (63.4 years) (29). and in Turkey (63.7 years) (30). This elderly mean age is due to the fact it has been reported that these places have a reduced exposure to UV light as most of the work is indoors, and have reduced level of HIV and HPV exposure.…”

Background: The most frequent non-pigmented malignancy of the ocular surface is ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), which has a frequency of 0.03 to 1.9 per 100,000 people per year. It can be diagnosed histologically as anything from mild dysplasia to aggressive squamous cell carcinoma that affects both the conjunctiva and the cornea. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of ocular surface squamous neoplasia at a teaching hospital in South Western Uganda.Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed all records of patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia from the Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST)/ Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) pathology laboratory in South Western Uganda, from January 2015- October 2021.Results: Of the 1,133 cases of ocular neoplasia seen during this time, OSSN composed of 26.7% (n=303). OSSN occurred mainly in females (59.1%). The most common OSSN was invasive squamous cell carcinoma (60.4%). The age range was 15-106 years while the mean was 39.99 years. The commonest affected age group was 30-44years (41.3%).Conclusion: The burden of OSSN is high. It primarily affects young adults and is frequently found in women. Squamous cell carcinoma makes up the majority of the disease.

“…Many studies have been conducted worldwide to describe the pattern of ocular tumor at national level 11 , 12 or at local level. 13 , 14 This research has succeeded in mapping of ocular cancer in the studied countries in term of incidence, gender differences, pathology, and natural history. In this research we conducted an examination of a substantial group of patients affected by ocular neoplasms within the Saudi population.…”

Background Ocular malignancies are uncommon among eye diseases; however, they jeopardize both vision and life. The main objective of this study was to use to describe the epidemiology of eye and ocular adnexa malignancies across different ages and sex. Methods The King Khaled University institutional review board approved this study. Data on ocular cancer were retrieved from the Saudi Cancer Registry between 1994 and 2018. The registry collected important patient information such as demographic information (age, gender, and nationality), clinical details, and tumor classification. Results The total number of cases with ocular cancer diagnosed was 1051 cases. The highest number was recorded in Riyadh (35.39%, n=372), followed by Makkah (16.93%, n=178). The incidence was higher in the 0–4 years’ age group (55.21%), and it got down as people got older. The data also revealed differences in the number of reported cases over time, as well as in the representation of eye cancer cases by gender and nationality. While many ocular cancer pathologies were seen, with “Retinoblastoma, not otherwise specified” being the most common (53.32%), the incidence rates for males and females remained largely stable over time. Conclusion The study emphasizes the need for continued monitoring, research, and analysis of potential of epidemiology of ocular cancer occurrence in Saudi Arabia. Identifying the geographical distribution and age pattern of Ocular malignancies have the potential to assist healthcare authorities and policymakers in developing precise strategies to reduce, recognize at an early stage, and successfully manage this condition.
