Abstract The pathological examination of ocular tumors has specificities in terms
of macroscopic management, microscopic analysis, and molecular examinations
requiring special attention. We discuss here the difficulties encountered in the
reception in the pathological anatomy laboratory of conjunctival samples,
enucleation and orbital exenteration pieces, then detail the diagnostic and theranostic,
microscopic and molecular characteristics of ocular tumor pathologies. Conjunctival
tumors (epithelial, melanocytic and lymphoid), choroidal tumors (including uveal
melanoma) and retinoblastoma are treated. Because of their low frequency and
their features, these tumors should be the subject of anatomo-clinical discussions.
