In addition, evaluation of breast lumps in resource-limited settings can be challenging. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple, time saving, minimally invasive and fairly accurate method for diagnosis of breast lesions.

The present study was conducted during the period from January 2011 to August 2015. A total of 526 breast cytology cases were studied and correlated with histopathology whenever possible. The Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology reporting was divided into five reporting categories according to National Health Service Breast Screening Programme 2001. The most common breast lesions belonged to C2 (Benign) category comprising of 318 cases (60.46%) followed by C5 (Malignant) category comprising of 137 cases (26.05 %).
