Macroscopic techniques for Ophthalmic Tumor Specimens

In ophthalmic pathology, tumors of various types may be seen because that discipline also encompasses such areas of pathology as dermatopathology and soft tissue pathology, along with diseases of the conjunctiva, cornea, intraocular structures, optic nerve, lacrimal gland, and lacrimal apparatus. In certain countries such as the United Kingdom, published guidelines exist for the reporting of tumor specimens in ophthalmic pathology. 1 However, that situation is not present in all countries, and, for some general pathologists, such specimens may therefore constitute bewildering rarities.
