Abstract :

Background: Fine–needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a well–established widely acceptable, accurate and reliable technique for evaluating east lumps. Over past few years, it has become one of the most significant among the Triple Diagnostic method for east malignancies, including Clinical, radiological and pathological assessment.

Objectives: To study the cytomorphological patterns of various east lesions diagnosed on Fine Needle Aspiration cytology and to establish the efficacy of FNAC as primary investigation of choice for differentiation between benign and malignant lesions.

Materials and Methods: This is an 18 month retrospective study. Patients who underwent fine needle aspiration cytology for diagnosis of east lumps in department of pathology, G.R medical college Gwalior were included in the study. FNAC procedure was performed on patients after obtaining a detailed history and conducting a general physical and local examination.

Results: Cytological, the lesions were categorized as inflammatory (12%), benign (66.6%), suspicious (03%), malignant (7.2%), and unsatisfactory (1.4%).

Conclusion: FNAC should be used as a routine diagnostic procedure due to its cost effectiveness, thus maximizing the availability of effective health care to patients with east lesions.
