The eye is rarely seen by pathologists. They go to neuropathologists.
An introduction to neuropathology is in the neuropathology article.
Histology
- The muscles that move the eye have a high nerve:muscle ratio = ~1:4.[1]
- Other muscles in the body ~1:250.
Conjunctiva:[2]
- Stratified squamous.
- May be stratified columnar
- Goblet cells.
Pinguecula
- Plural Pingueculae.
General
- Raizada et al.[3] suggest it is an early pterygium; however, this is disputed.
- Due to ultraviolet light exposure, e.g. sunlight.[4]
- Tend to be older than individuals afflicted with a pterygium.
Gross
- Yellow spot.
Microscopic
Features:
- Similar to pterygium.[4]
Pterygium
- AKA surfer eye.
General
- Pronounced: "tuh-rij-ee-uhm".[5]
- Conjunctiva lesion that covers part of the sclera.
- Sclera = white part of the eye.[6]
- Benign.
- Due to ultraviolet light exposure, i.e. sunlight.[4]
Image:
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Hyaline material beneath epithelium.
- Elastic fibres beneath the hyaline material.
- +/-Inflammation.
- Solar elastosis.[7]
- Dense gray/light brown acellular material.
- Dilated vessels.[7]
DDx:
- Squamous dysplasia.
Images:
Eccrine hidrocystoma
General
- Benign.
- Eyelid lesion.
Clinical DDx:[8]
- Cystic BCC.
Microsopic
Features:
- Same histology as epidermal inclusion cyst.[8]
Retinoblastoma
General
- Rare.
- Malignant.
- May be familial.[9]
Microscopic
Features:
- Small round cell tumour.
- Flexner-Wintersteiner rosette - key feature.
- Rosette with empty centre (donut hole).[10]
- +/-Homer-Wright rosette.[11]
- Circular rosette with neuropil at the centre.[10]

Notes:
- DDx of Flexner-Wintersteiner rosette includes: pineoblastomas, medulloepitheliomas.
Chalazion
General
- Eye thingy.
Microscopic
Features:
- Granulomatous inflammation.[12]
