Abstract
Transretinal biopsy of intraocular tumors plays a decisive role as a diagnostic tool in ocular oncology. A biopsy is indicated to confirm a clinical diagnosis before treatment and allows identification of high risk melanomas of the uvea with a high potential of metastasis by molecular genetic evaluation of the specimen. This review will focus on the various biopsy techniques and indications for this method.Entities:
