The '''eye''' is rarely seen by pathologists.  Typically, they go to neuropathologists, as the eye is really part of the brain.  The article also covers many of the lesions found around the eye.  The lacrimal gland is covered in the ''[[lacrimal gland]]'' article.  Eyelid lesions are covered in the ''[[eyelid]]'' article.
