Several methods have been implemented to obtain suitable samples from patients for the purpose of histopathological examination and definitive diagnosis. This has been of paramount importance in dealing with oncology cases including orbital neoplasms. Open surgical biopsy has been the common standard technique used in our eye centers in Saudi Arabia for diagnosing various orbital lesions. Other modalities such as fine-needle aspiration biopsy, core biopsy, and imaging-guided core biopsy are not popular. We report two cases where open surgical biopsies may have not been optimal in reaching the desired tissue diagnosis of orbital malignancy on time, thus resulting in delaying further management of the two patients.
为了进行组织病理学检查和明确诊断，已经采用了几种方法从患者身上获取合适的样本。这在处理包括眼眶肿瘤在内的肿瘤病例中至关重要。开放手术活检一直是沙特阿拉伯我们眼科中心用于诊断各种眼眶病变的常用标准技术。其他方式，如细针穿刺活检、粗针活检和影像引导粗针活检并不常用。我们报告了两例病例，其中开放手术活检可能未能及时达到眼眶恶性肿瘤所需的组织诊断，从而导致这两名患者的进一步治疗延迟。
