“…In contrast to fine needle aspiration biopsy, which is cytological, the aim of imaging-guided core needle biopsy is to obtain adequate tissue sample for histological diagnosis. Core needle biopsies are widely used in many oncological subspecialties as an effective alternative to open biopsy (Ortiz et al, 1996;Boland et al, 2013;Finger, 2014;Héran et al, 2014). Many recent studies, in human literature, report advantages of core biopsy over fine needle aspiration biopsy as oncological diagnostic procedure (Woodcock and Morgan, 1998;Orlandi et al, 2013).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of imaging-guided core needle biopsy for canine orbital mass diagnosis. A second excisional biopsy obtained during surgery or necropsy was used as the reference standard. A prospective feasibility study was conducted in 23 canine orbital masses at a single centre. A complete ophthalmic examination was always followed by orbital ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) examination of the head. All masses were sampled with the patient still on the CT table using ultrasound (US) guided automatic tru-cut device. The most suitable sampling approach to the orbit was chosen each time based on the CT image analysis. One of the following different approaches was used: trans-orbital, trans-conjunctival or trans-masseteric. In all cases, the imaging-guided biopsy provided a sufficient amount of tissue for the histopathological diagnosis, which concurred with the biopsies obtained using the excisional technique. CT examination was essential for morphological diagnosis and provided detailed topographic information that allowed us to choose the safest orbital approach for the biopsy. US guided automatic tru-cut biopsy based on CT images, performed with patient still on the CT table, resulted in a minimally invasive, relatively easy, and accurate diagnostic procedure in dogs with orbital masses.

“…Recently, Finger et al 37 proposed using a 20-G aspiration cutter to obtain tissue at multiple sites through a small-incision anterior orbitotomy, and the initial results were encouraging. After histological confirmation of the primary lesion, imaging of the body is required for staging of the disease.…”

Lymphoproliferative diseases of the orbit account for majority of orbital tumors. The pathologies range from reactive lymphoid hyperplasia to specific IgG4-related inflammation to malignant lymphomas. This review summarizes current concepts regarding pathology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, staging, and treatment strategies of major orbital lymphoproliferative diseases based on updated and relevant bibliography.

“…The minimally invasive, sutureless anterior orbitotomy biopsy using a Finger's aspiration cutter device was a newly proposed technique that offers minimal disruption of tissue to achieve sufficient results. 49 This technique is more specifically used to obtain tissue biopsy for histopathological analysis. A 3-mm incision is made along the superior eyelid crease or conjunctival fornix.…”

Determining safe surgical access to the orbit can be difficult given the complex anatomy and delicacy of the orbital structures. When considering biopsy or removal of an orbital tumor or repair of orbital fractures, careful planning is required to determine the ideal approach. Traditionally, this has at times necessitated invasive procedures with large incisions and extensive bone removal. The purpose of this review was to present newly techniques and devices in orbital surgery that have been reported over the past decade, with aims to provide better exposure and/or minimally invasive approaches and to improve morbidity and/or mortality.
