Evaluation of Clinico-Radiological Association with CT Guided FNAC of Various Lung Lesions: A Hospital Based Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a basic, fast, trustworthy strategy for the diagnosis of lung lesions, specially with the guide of computed axial tomography (CAT) scan. The present study was planned to assess clinicoradiological correlation with CT guided FNAC of different lung lesions. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Radiodiagnosis S.P. Medical College Bikaner. The ethical approval for the study was obtained from the ethical committee of the college before initiating the study. One hundred patients having signs and symptoms of respiratory illness and confirmation of lung lesions by chest radiographs and CT scan were included in the study. An examination was made between the cytological determination and likely conclusion made on premise of clinical and radiological components. Results: Consolidation was present in 58 patients; space occupying lesion (SOL) was present in 56 patients; collapse of lung was present in 45 patients; cavity was present in 31 patients; Pleural effusion was present in 30 patients; Hydropneumothorax / Lung Abscess was present in 4 patients; and Solitary Pulmonary nodule (SPN) was present in 0 patients. Consolidation was present in 58 (58%) of the patients which include 30 (78.9 %) patients of tuberculosis and 13 (36.1%) of malignancy. Space occupying lesion was present in 56 (56%) of the patients which include 15 (39.5%) patients of tuberculosis and 34 (94.4%) patients of malignancy. Pleural effusion was present in 30 (30%) of the patients which include 2 (5.3%) patients of tuberculosis and 17 (47.2%) patients of malignancy. Conclusion: CT guided FNAC is an uncomplicated, secure and unfailing procedure with high diagnostic efficiency. The complications of the procedure being rare are most commonly peri-regional hemorrhage and chest pain.
