Abstract

Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of tumors has a long history. The first intraocular biopsy was performed by Hirschberg in 1868. Since the publication of a major report by Jakobiec in 1979, FNAB is increasingly used in the evaluation of ophthalmic tumors. The safety and reliability of ophthalmic FNAB have been reported by several other investigators with adequacy rates of 88–95 %.
