Abstract:

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is widely accepted as a primary method for the diagnosis of thyroid lesions. An alternative to FNAC is fine-needle sampling without aspiration (FNNAC). FNAC is easy to perform, quickly and has a high degree of sensitivity and specificity and avoid unnecessary surgery. Hence the present study was performed to study the diagnostic accuracy of FNNAC with FNAC technique in solid tumors.: An observational study was carried out on 325 patients with swellings in the breast, thyroid, and soft tissues and enlarged lymph nodes in the Department of surgical oncology

It is preferred to have the diagnostic methods that are least invasive as well as cost-effective. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and ultrasound breast in the diagnosis of malignancy in a breast lump.

Abstract:

Background & Objective: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is frequently used to evaluate a breast lump, for it is safe, reliable, and time saving outdoor procedure for evaluation of breast lumps. However, in recent times, the diagnosis of breast lesions has mostly become dependent on Tru-cut biopsies with a gradual reduction in the rate of performing fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The present study was undertaken to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Tru-cut Biopsy and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in the evaluation of a clinically palpable breast lump. Methods

Abstract:

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an important and primary screening tool for all breast lumps with high level of sensitivity and specificity. Diagnosing the rare breast carcinoma on FNAC is very challenging on account of various mimickers of the same. We hereby describe a rare case of breast carcinoma diagnosed on FNAC in a 34-year-old female confirmed on histopathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Preoperative diagnosis of apocrine carcinoma on FNAC and later confirmation on histopathology along with IHC study gives better insight to the cytopathologist and helps in better managem

Breast carcinoma is the most common malignancy among women globally. FNA is used as an important diagnostic tool as a part of triple assessment. The application of the IAC Yokohama system in breast cytology standardises reporting and also allows the calculation of risk of malignancy (ROM). To categorize all FNAC specimens according to the newly proposed IAC Yokohama reporting system for breast cytology. The ROM was determined for each category, sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values were evaluated to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of each category and inter-observe
