1 Surgical Technique Is pars plana vitrectomy a safe method for performing fine needle aspiration biopsy of choroidal melanoma? What are the rates of complications? Clinical Characteristics Do tumor thickness and largest basal diameter correlate with class II designation? Introduction Patients with choroidal melanoma are at risk of metastasis and death despite local control of the tumor with radiation therapy. Genetic analysis of tumor cells allows for more accurate risk stratification and can be obtained via fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Extraocular spread following biopsy has been reported, albeit rarely. We describe our technique using a standard pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) approach and report the outcomes and surgical complications. Methods Study design: retrospective case series 16 patients, evaluated by an ocular oncologist (JSD), underwent PPV with biopsy of choroidal melanoma between December 2014 and December 2016 at the New England Eye Center, Boston, MA. Surgical technique: Three 25g trocars are placed in standard fashion with infusion. Following limited core PPV, a 27g needle attached to manual suction is passed through a trocar for FNAB under direct visualization, and repeated with new instrumentation. The samples are sent for cytopathology and gene expression profile (GEP; Castle Biosciences Inc., Phoenix, AZ). A partial air fluid exchange is performed to tamponade the biopsy site. Cryotherapy is not applied to the sclerotomy sites. Exclusion criteria Extraocular extension; biopsy via trans-sclera approach Transvitreal Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Choroidal prognosticinformation,biopsywithgepanalysiscanimprovepost\ fortransvitrealfnabwithalowriskofcomplications,including 1 iatrogenicdissemination.

5 Conclusions A Predicted metastasis-free survival at five years is 98%, 79% and 28% for GEP classes 1A, 1B, and 2, respectively (reference: Castle Biosciences Inc., Phoenix, AZ). Biopsy with GEP can improve post-radiation care for patients with choroidal melanoma with this prognostic data. In this cohort to date, metastasis has occurred in one patient, whose tumor was GEP class 2. In our experience, PPV affords optimal visualization and control for transvitreal FNAB with low risk of complications, including iatrogenic spread.
