Biopsy/FNAC

Typical clinical and radiological findings make tissue biopsy confirmation unnecessary. It may also lead to extraocular seeding of tumor cells.

However, FNAC is indicated in special cases to confirm the diagnosis when the diagnosis is ambiguous and when there is already an obvious extraocular extension of the tunor.

BONE MARROW EXAMINATION, LUMBAR PUNCTURE and RADIONUCLIDE BONE SCAN are few other tests done as part of metastatic work up.
