Eye neoplasm

Common card · No. 282369

An eye neoplasm is a rare type of tumor of the eye. Eye neoplasms can affect all parts of the eye, and can either be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous), in which case it is known as eye cancer. Eye cancers can be primary (starts within the eye) or metastatic cancer (spread to the eye from another organ). The two most common cancers that spread to the eye from another organ are breast cancer and lung cancer. Other less common sites of origin include the prostate, kidney, thyroid, skin, colon and blood or bone marrow.
