Conjunctival Tumors in Children

Conjunctival tumors in children are abnormal growths that occur on the conjunctiva, the thin tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Symptoms may include changes in appearance, irritation, or discomfort in the eye. While most conjunctival tumors in children are benign, it’s important to have any unusual growths examined by an eye specialist. Early detection and treatment are key to managing these conditions effectively and preserving vision. Regular eye check-ups can help in monitoring eye health.
