Ancillary Testing
The eye is an incredibly complex structure, composed of specialized “layers” of tissue, each with a specific histology and function that are essential for vision. Stanford’s Ophthalmic Pathology Service evaluates the broad range of specimens received from in and around the eye for both inflammatory and neoplastic lesions.
Primary Pathology Diagnosis
Stanford’s Ophthalmic Pathology Service performs gross and microscopic examination and reporting of wet tissue cases. Our pathologists are well versed in difficult cases including:
- Conjunctival pigmented lesions
- Intraocular tumors
- Retinoblastoma
- Sebaceous cell carcinoma of the eyelid
- Uveal melanoma
- Vitreous large cell lymphoma
Our service also offers histopathology, immunohistochemical, molecular, and genetic tools to diagnose and provide prognostic data on eye diseases.
Consultative Opinions & Case Reviews
Stanford’s Ophthalmic Pathology Service offers consultative opinions on challenging cases submitted from outside of the Stanford network. These consultations can be utilized to offer expert opinion, answer specific questions or confirm diagnosis.
Consult Cases
To submit slides for case review, please complete a Stanford requisition and include all slides, relevant reports, and ancillary testing materials and reports. If possible, please include a block, as it will greatly speed the finalization of the case should additional testing be necessary. Package all materials securely and send via a padded envelope.
Wet Tissue Specimens
Please submit materials in proper transport media. All samples should be labeled with the patient information (name, DOB and one other unique identifier) and sealed in a biohazard bag. Please submit a signed Stanford requisition with each sample.
Samples and consult materials should be shipped or delivered via courier to:
