Diagnostic Accuracy of FNAC in Relation to Histopathology in Bone Tumors
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: Bone tumors constitute approximately 1% of all tumors affecting the human body. The key to their accurate recognition is the utilization of an integrated approach that assesses and correlates the clinical, radiological, morphological and biological behaviour of these lesions. Method: After complete clinical and plain radiographic examinations, FNAC was done. All eligible cases of bone tumors undergoing FNAC, slides were stained by H & E and MGG and confirmed by histopathological diagnosis Results: In our study out of 117 cases of bone tumors, satisfactory aspiration was obtained in 100 cases , 17 cases were unsatisfactory and 7 cases were misdiagnosed. 100 cases could be correlated and 93% correlation was obtained. Whereas sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 93.4%, 92.5%, 91.4% and 94.3% respectively Conclusion: Fine-needle aspiration of bone is a simple, reliable, and accurate diagnostic technique that can facilitate patient management and preoperative decision-making and/or avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.
