Adequacy and Accuracy of Fine Nedle Aspiration Cytology of Papillary Lesions of the Breast with its Histopathological Correlation: A Two Year Study from a Tertiary Care Centre
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The cytodiagnosis of papillary breast lesions poses many difficulties due to overlappinging of similar features observed in other breast lesions that produces papillary like tissue fragments. Study aimed to see the adequacy of fine needle aspiration cytology of papillary lesions of the breast with its histopathological correlation. Material and methods: Retrospective study of the cytology smears reported as papillary lesions on FNAC and on histopathological examination of seven cases over a period of two years from June 2014 to May 2016 in Assam Medical College Dibrugarh were studied and correlated. Result: All the patients lied in the age group of 40 -60 years and the main presenting complain was lump in the breast. All the May-Grünwald-Giemsa, stained smears of FNA revealed predominantly highly cellular smear comprising of tight cohesive clusters and few cells dispersed singly. Numerous finger like papillary projections were also seen. The histopathology reports of all the seven cases confirmed it to be the papillary lesion of breast. Conclusion: On aspiration cytology many other nonpapillay breast lesions exhibit overlapping features on cytosmears. Cytomorphological features alone are inadequate for the precise diagnosis of the papillary lesions of the breast.
