Abstract :

Background :Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a well–established and widely used diagnostic method in cases of east lumps in females. However, studies related to its application in male east are rare. The present study was undertaken to evaluate role of FNAC in the diagnosis of male east lesions.

Material and Methods : This is a retrospective and prospective study done over a period of 3 years that is Jan 2015 to December 2017. Cases were retrieved from the files of department of Pathology and Medical Records Department (MRD) of the institute. FNAC diagnosis was categorized as benign lesions,malignant, suspicious for malignancy and inflammatory /abscess. Cyto–histological correlation was attempted in cases wherever possible. Statistical analysis was done using standard methods for sensitivity,specificity and diagnostic accuracy.

Results : A total of 28 cases of lump in male east had undergone FNAC. Histopathological examination was available in 25 cases. The distribution of lesions was Benign lesions(Gynecomastia) 24 (85.72%), Malignant lesions 3 (10.72%) and Inflammatory  1 (3.5%). In the category of malignant lesions, a rare case of mucinous adeno–carcinoma of male east was encountered. There was no false positive or false negative finding. FNAC had sensitivity and specificity and diagnostic accuracy of 100% for male east lesions.

Conclusion :FNAC is reliable and accurate diagnostic method in male east lesions. Findings of this study indicate that it can be used in clinical practice in evaluation of male east lesions.
