The diagnosis of an intraocular mass in children can be challenging as invasive procedures are not allowed, in particular if a retinoblastoma may be present. In eyes with a unilateral tumour mass and loss of function enucleation with subsequent histopathological processing might be the only option to establish a diagnosis and to exclude a malignant tumour. The present paper deals with intraocular tumours other than retinoblastoma in children, with a special focus on the correlation of modern imaging techniques and histopathological findings.
