Cytological and histopathological correlation of Soft tissue tumors
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is useful in distinguishing accurately between benign and malignant soft tissue tumors and subclassify them into general and clinically relavant cases to initiate treatment.It�s accuracy when applied by experienced and well trained practitioner matches that of histopatholgy in providing equivocal diagnosis. Materials and Methods :This 2yrs retrospective and prospective study was done in Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital Warangal by considering both exclusion and inclusion criteria in 240 cases. History & clinical evaluation were done.They were subjected to FNAC and later biopsy done and correlated. Results :FNAC revealed diagnostic material in 233 cases and7 cases were inconclusive for diagnosis.220 cases (92%) diagnosed as benign and 13cases(5.4%) were diagnosed as malignant on FNAC.Out of which 216(98%) benign cases were correlated on histopathology as benign,4 cases were diagnosed as malignant on HPE.All the13(100%) cases diagnosed as malignant on FNAC were correlated with histopathology as malignant.Out of the 7 inconclusive cases 4 cases diagnosed as benign and 3 cases diagnosed as malignant on histopathology. Diagnostic accuracy of benign cases is 97% & malignant cases is 100%. Conclusion :FNAC is very useful procedure in preoperative diagnosis of benign&malignancy of soft tissue tumors with certain limitations.It is safe useful procedure of low financial cost, low morbidity with compliance& acceptable diagnostic accuracy.
