The results were summarized as follows; 1. The sex distribution revealed 130 males and 120 females. 2. The tumors of the eye and its adnexa involved lid 73 cases(29.2%), epibulbar tissue 72 cases(28.8%), orbit 56 cases(22.4%), and intraocular tissue 49 cases(19.6%) in order. 3. The benign tumors were 159 cases(63.6%) and the malignant tumors were 91 cases. 4. The most frequent malignant tumor in the eye and its adnexa was retinoblastoma and the most frequent benign tumor was nevus. 5. Of intraocular malignant tumors, the incidence of retinoblastoma was impressively higher than that of malignant melanoma in Korean. 6.
