Abstract :

 Benign as well as malignant east lesions are quite common in Indian population. In the present prospective study,107 patients with palpable east lumps were studied.After history ,clinical examination, FNAC was performed with their consent.Aspirated materials were stained with Haematoxylene–Eosin and Leishman’s stain. Biopsy or surgery has been performed on all east lumps and histopathological reports of the same lesion were studied from pathology laboratory.The histopathological reports were compared with FNAC reports. Out of 107 palpable east lumps studied,we have found diagnostic accuracy of FNAC(consistent with histopathology) is 98.59% in benign cases and 87.50% in malignant cases. FNAC was false negative in 12.50% in malignant cases and false positive in 1.3% benign cases.The overall success rate of FNAC was 95.33% in east lumps. FNAC is useful in diagnosis and further planning of treatment. FNAC is a technique utilized in the diagnosis of palpable east lumps owing to its advantage of being sensitive, specific, economical and safe
