Dr. R. Muthukrishnan, Dr. P. Mahendranath

Abstract :

Background: intra abdominal lesions are big challenge for clinician to treat a patient. In this situation histopathological evaluation plays important role in the diagnosis of intra abdominal and pelvic lesions. The documentary evidence of morphological nature of lesion is very important before the starting of therapy and prognosis is mandatory.

Material and methods: This is an descriptive and cross sectional study carried over a period of 1 years from september 2017 to september 2018 at department of pathology ACS Medical College and Hospital, Chennai.The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of USG guided FNA in distinguishing neoplastic from non–neoplastic intra–abdominal and pelvic lesions.This study was approved by the institutional ethical committee. Results were analysed and interpreted statistically.

Results: Total number of cases we received 50, most of the cases were presented at age group of between 50–60 years with MF ratio 1:1.3. There were 26(68.4%) malignant,12(31.6%) were benign and 12(24%) were unsatisfactory smears. Liver is the organ most commonly involved, and most of the lesions were malignant. Hepatocellular carcinoma is most common malignancy is observed. Ovary is next common organ was involved. This study showed 96.6% sensitivity, 100% specificity, 94.4% diagnostic accuracy.

Conclusion: Intra abdominal FNAC is a simple, economical and a safe procedure with high rates of sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy. Correlation with clinical history, radiology and histopathology further increases the diagnostic accuracy. Early diagnosis helps in appropriate management of the patients.
