Abstract :

Breast cancer is among most common cancer in women these days. It’s important to diagnose it correctly with available modalities. This study is to compare FNAC with histopathological results. Aims and objective is Cytohistopathological comparison and correlation of results to estimate the efficacy of FNAC vs histopathology. A prospective study on 50 patients done presented with east lump aging 11 to 80 yrs. In the present study, cytological findings were consistent with histopathological findings in 48 out of 50 cases (96%) and inconsistent in 2 (4%) cases.
