Study of fine needle aspiration cytology of nodular lesions of Scalp

Dr Suryajita Kr Singh, Dr Deepak Kumar

Abstract :

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a safe method in the diagnosis of Scalp lesions. It has limitations in typing of skin adnexal tumours so histopathological correlation is necessary for the diagnosis. In the present study, 40 cases of clinically diagnosed nodular lesions were evaluated by FNAC and correlated with histopathology. There was 100% correlation in cases of epidermal inclusion cyst,lipoma, acute and chronic inflammatory lesions and 65% accuracy was seen in adnexal tumours. FNAC is a rapid, cost effective, minimally invasive procedure with high rates of sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing nodular lesions of scalp.
