Dr. Bordia Sandhya, Dr. Damor Usha

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION- The orbital and periorbital lesion represent a diagnostic challenge to the clinicians. The diversity and rarity of the orbital and periorbital lesion compounded by the difficulty in obtaining direct surgical biopsies make FNAC a useful tool in diagnosis of these lesion. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES- To study the cytomorphological features of orbital and periorbital lesions, to categorise the lesion in inflammatory, benign and malignant conditions, to study the diagnostic yield of FNAC. MATERIALS AND METHODS- Patients of different age group presenting with orbital and periorbital lesion were studied over a period of 2 years. Sixty five cases were evaluated by FNAC. FNAC was done using 22 guage needle without anaesthesia and smears stained with Field. RESULTS: We have made an attempt to analyze 65 cases of orbital and periorbital lesion in to the category of cystic and infectious lesions, inflammatory lesions & neoplastic lesions.2 cases were malignant and 63 cases were benign. The patient belonged to the age group of 1.5 year to 80 year with majority in age group of 20-40 year. Among these patients 43 were males and 22 were females. Male: female ratio was 2:1. CONCLUSION: FNAC is a rapid, efficient, cost effective, relatively painless procedure and produces a speedy result with high diagnostic yield in orbital and periorbial pathology.
