Orbital Mass Lesions: US-guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy—Experience in 37 Patients

Abstract: US provides safe and effective guidance for performing fine-needle aspiration biopsy in orbital mass lesions and is especially useful in deep-seated nonpalpable retrobulbar lesions.

“…The most common lesions found to be nondiagnostic on FNAC included fibrous lesions, chronic inflammatory pseudotumors and tumors located in the apex of the orbit. 1,8,9,11 In such lesions, even with use of guided FNAC, the rate of nondiagnostic aspirates may remain high. 8 Kennerdell et al 9 think that biopsy under direct vision by orbital endoscopy might be helpful in these cases.…”

“…This technique was first used by Schyberg 2 in 1975 for diagnosing orbital lesions, following which many authors have emphasized its utility in ophthalmic practice, with vari-able success. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The technique has been found to be especially useful in identifying malignant epithelial tumors, suspicion for which is the main indication for its use in the orbit. 10 Eyelids are also involved by a variety of neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions; comparatively few studies have dealt with the role of FNA in the diagnosis of eyelid lesions.…”

“…CT, MRI (Boroffka and Voorhout, 1999;Armour et al, 2011;Lederer et al, 2015) and ultrasound (US) have been demonstrated to be accurate in evaluating orbital disease (Mason et al, 2001;Boroffka et al, 2007). In addition, US has been demonstrated to be particularly useful in guiding interventional procedures throughout the body both in veterinary and in human patients (Phillips and Schneider, 1981;Gupta et al, 1999;Constantin et al, 2010;Orlandi et al, 2013;Spiess and Pot, 2013). However, imaging alone is not sufficient for a definitive diagnosis (Boroffka and Voorhout, 1999;Boroffka et al, 2007).…”

“…Prior to performing FPABs, we undertake an image study. Results obtained using this technique have been deemed excellent by some experienced authors (12) and several published series report 80 to 97% matches with subsequent anatomopathological diagnoses (8,(43)(44)(45). The main concern regarding the use of FPAB is the possibility of disseminating tumoral cells, though studies performed on a large number of cases where FPABs were undertaken for a considerable range of tumors and locations show that, in this respect, the technique is safe (12).…”
