Abstract

In a 3-year study with mass lesions related to ophthalmology 30 cases arising from ocular tissue, ocular adenaxae and orbit were subjected to fine needle aspiration biopsy. Of these 27 cases were further subjected to detailed histopathological examination. Fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed definitive cytological character in 23 cases consistent with histopathological and clinical diagnosis.
