Purpose: We present an epidemiologic analysis of retinoblastoma (RB) and uveal melanoma (UM) in Jordan to aid national strategies for improved ocular cancer surveillance and control.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of all Jordanian patients with RB and UM diagnosed over 10 years (2011-2020). Outcome measures included incidence, demographics, and outcomes.
Aim: To evaluate the features and outcome of management of malignant conjunctival squamous tumors in King Hussein Cancer Center (a referral tertiary cancer center in the Middle East).
Methods: Retrospective case series of 31 eyes for 31 patients with conjunctival squamous neoplasia. Main outcome measures included: age, gender, laterality, tumor location, pathological features, tumor stage, treatment modality, and outcome.
Objective: To evaluate King Hussein Cancer Center experience in using Iodine-125 COMS radioactive plaque for treatment of Uveal Melanoma in Jordan.
Methods: Retrospective case series of eyes with uveal melanoma treated by Iodine-125 COMS radioactive plaque therapy. Data collection required access to medical, radiology, Labs and pathology reports.

Objective/background: Intra ocular Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an extremely rare disease. We are reporting the first case of RDD presenting as ciliary body mass mimicking ciliary body melanoma, and we are reviewing the English literature reporting on cases of RDD presented with intraocular disease.
Methods: An 18-year-old lady presented with loss of vision in the right eye, and was found to have intraocular mass lesion.
Objective: The aim of this study was evaluate the features and outcome of management of uveal melanoma in King Hussein Cancer Center as an example of a referral tertiary cancer center in the Middle East.
Material And Method: This was aetrospective, observational case series of 46 eyes of 46 patients with uveal melanoma. Data collection required access to medical records, radiology and pathology reports, and laboratory results.
Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of the seventh edition American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC/UICC) TNM classification, the International Classification of Retinoblastoma (ICRB), and Reese-Ellsworth staging for retinoblastoma for the likelihood of high-risk pathologic features.
Methods: A retrospective study of 50 primarily enucleated eyes from 49 retinoblastoma patients. Main outcome measures included demographics, TNM stage, ICRB group, Reese-Ellsworth stage, choroid, optic nerve, and anterior chamber invasion.
