D31: Benign neoplasm of eye and adnexa
Benign neoplasm of the eye and adnexa refers to a group of non-cancerous growths that occur in the eye or its surrounding structures, known as the adnexa. These tumors can form in various parts of the eye, including the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. While they are not cancerous, they can still cause problems due to their size or location. Common symptoms may include blurry vision, loss of vision, floaters, and sometimes pain. Although the exact cause is unknown, certain genetic factors may play a role. The rate of disease progression varies widely, depending largely on the type and location of the neoplasm. If left untreated, these neoplasms can lead to complications such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, or in rare cases, loss of the eye.
