Fine needle aspiration biopsy in orbital tumours.
Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) was performed in 46 patients with an orbital mass. Positive cytological identification was made in 43 biopsy specimens. In 26 cases with histopathological control the accuracy was 81%. In experienced hands FNAB is safe and appears to be a valuable tool in establishing a diagnosis of malignancy in orbital tumours.
متن کاملFine-needle Aspiration Biopsy in 110 Tumours
We have previously shown that cytological diagnosis based on fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a safe and efficient method for the discrimination between benign, primary malignant and metastatic bony lesions. We have now studied metastatic lesions to assess the diagnostic accuracy and to ascertain whether FNAB allows identification of the primary lesion. Between 1990 and 1997, 447 patient...
