Abstract
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of intraocular mass lesions is an important intervention in the presence of diagnostic difficulty. FNAB of intraocular mass lesions is also likely to become more commonly recommended for prognostication of tumors such as choroidal melanoma. The most commonly described approach for tumor localization and visualization during FNAB is transillumination and indirect ophthalmoscopic viewing. Herein, we report endoillumination (chandelier) and wide-angle viewing assisted, microscope-based approach for FNAB in two patients using two port minimally invasive vitreoretinal surgical approach. The submission is supported by a video demonstration. The entire procedure was completed under the microscope. Adequate sample was obtained. In the first patient, the inflammatory nature of the lesion was confirmed though magnetic resonance imaging had been reported as melanoma. In the second patient, a clinical diagnosis of amelanotic melanoma was confirmed. Endoillumination-assisted FNAB of intraocular mass lesions is easier to learn and more precise and hence carries lesser risks.
