Abstract
The relationship between the ophthalmologist and ophthalmic pathologist is particularly important in orbital disease, as diagnosis is heavily dependent on correlation with clinical context. If the patient has previously had treatment to the orbit or an adjacent area, whether for the same or a different condition, tissue changes may occur which affect the histological appearance of any specimen taken. This article is an overview of therapeutic interventions which may cause either orbital pathology or an altered appearance of the tissue, either of which can pose a diagnostic challenge. The problem of artefact is also addressed as another factor which may alter the appearance of a specimen. It is hoped that the information provided in this brief review will help clinicians better evaluate what information may be relevant when submitting a specimen.
