title: Fine needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of intraocular and extra-ocular mass lesions.
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.
