Abstract :

A hospital based study was done in patients who attended surgery OPD with east lump of variable duration to evaluate the role of fine needle aspiration cytology in diagnosis of east lump. the fine needle aspiration cytology was carried out in each patients. Depending on the report, they were managed. Out of 115 cases, 66 patients underwent surgery and biopsy results were correlated with the initial findings on cytology. Invasive duct carcinoma was the commonest entity. On cyto–hiostological correlation, 98.5% showed consistency in. The possibility of false negative diagnosis in 1.5% case was the uniformity and low grade nature of the cell population. The sensitivity of the study is 98.5% and specificity is 100%. Hence FNAC should be practiced as a routine procedure as there is a high degree of correlation with histopathological findings.
