Childhood tumor is differs from adult tumor but has a wide range varieties in types and presentation due to its origin from different embryogenic layers. As Pediatric patients mostly depend on their parents or caregivers for seeking medical attention, many ocular tumor present with unnecessary delay. Most childhood ocular tumors are benign, but there are also life threatening tumors. In this study, a variety of intraocular, orbital and surface tumors are reviewed with their key sign of diagnosis and current treatment modalities. Though most of these tumor present at tertiary eye hospitals, the overall knowledge about these tumors can help ophthalmologists in diagnosis and proper referral.
