Dr. Pradip R Butale

Abstract :

 Background – FNAC of intraabdominal Masses is a routine procedure now a days . Confident diagnosis can be made in combination with other modalities such as USG, CT Scan. It can be substitute to for surgical procedure like diagnostic laparotomy. Aims– To evaluate Utility and diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in diagnosis of intra–abdominal masses Materials and Methods: The study included 273 intraabdominal masses which were detected clinically and raiologically .USG guided FNAC were done Result: Out of 217 adequate abdominal aspirate, 179 (82.4%) were found to be malignant and 7 were ,(3.2%), benign in nature, 19 (8.8%) masses were inflammatory in origin , in 12 ( .5.6%) aspirates, the cells were suspicious of malignancy. In present study most common abdominal malignancy was secondaries in liver 29(16.2%), followed by hepatocellular carcinoma 27(15.0%). Out of 29 cases of secondatory metastasis, 9 (31.2%) were from secondaries of carcinoma of bowel . In this study , overall diagnostics accuracy of 98.3 % was achieved by Ultrasound guided FNAC with sensitivity of 98 % and specificity of 100 %. Predictive value for positive and negative were found to be 100%and 87.50% respectively . Conclusion: FNAC of intrabdominal masses is simple, economical and safe procedure with high sensitivity, specificity , diagnostic accuracy and can be used as routine preoperative procedure for diagnosis and management.
