[Orbital and ocular tumors in the Republic of Mali].
Analysing 82 cases of oculo-orbital tumours in Malian patients, the authors find the classical features characterizing ocular carcinoma in Africa, i.e. early arising, development, late request for treatment. They stress on the age of the patients at the occasion of the first request for treatment in case of retinoblastoma, and notice the special frequency of squamous cell carcinoma with conjunctival or limbic localization.
