The files of the patients who underwent surgery and sent specimens to pathology laboratory at Inönü University Faculty ofMedicine, Department of Ophthalmology betweenMarch 2010 and July 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic, clinical and histopathological data of cases with premalignant and malignant lesions were recorded. A total of 136 patients, 64 (47.1%) female and 72 (52.9%) male, were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 73.6±14.7 (11-101) years. Premalignant lesions were detected in 58 patients (42.6%) and malignant lesions were detected in 78 patients (57.4%). The most common premalignant lesions were conjunctival or corneal intraepithelial neoplasia, carcinoma in situ, while the most common malignant lesions were basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and lymphoma.
