Journal Title: Journal of Contemporary Medicine and Dentistry - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: FNAC of breast lumps is an important mode of investigation and forms a part of triple test. It is difficult to determine whether a lump is benign or malignant from clinical assessment. Thus need for FNAC and tissue analysis arises. Methods: It is a retrospective study conducted from March 2015 to March 2017 to assess the accuracy of FNAC by comparing with histopathology. Results: FNAC was done in 178 paents. Out of these 142 underwent surgery and results of histopathology were compared. Benign lesions are 112 and 30 are malignant lesions. 6 cases of suspicious lesions in FNAC were confirmed as malignant in histopathology. The commonest benign lesion is fibroadenoma and the commonest malignant lesion is infiltrating duct cell carcinoma. Conclusion: FNAC serves as a rapid and reliable tool for the diagnosis of palpable breast lesion as there is a strong correlation between FNAC and histopathology.
