Benign Neoplasm of Eye
What is it?
Benign eye tumors are unusual growth or changes in the eye structures that are not cancerous. The tumors can grow on the eyelid or within the wall of the eye. Choroidal nevi
are pigmented lesions in the eye while hemangiomas are abnormal growth of blood vessels inside or surrounding the eye. Risk factors for benign eye tumors are exposure to UV light or wind, genetic factors, older age. There is a very small risk that choroidal nevus can become cancerous, usually when there are multiple CHPRE (congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelial layer) lesions.
