Fine-needle Aspiration Cytology with Postoperative Histopathology Correlation of Lump Breast
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Diseases of the breast constitute a signifi cant proportion of surgical cases seen in both developed and developing countries, and frequently, the need arises to distinguish benign from malignant lesions before defi nitive treatment. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of lump breast is an important test to differentiate between benign and malignant lesion which cannot be dealt clinically. It is extremely benefi cial in reaffi rming the clinical impression of benign disease, which may not need a subsequent biopsy. Aim: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in differentiating the benign and malignant lesions of palpable breast lump with post-operative histopathological correlation. Materials and Methods: 75 women presenting with complaints of lump breast were included in the study. FNAC followed by appropriate surgical management and histopathological examination of excised specimen. Results: The diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in patients with malignant breast lesions was 93.55%, for benign breast lesion was 100%. Sensitivity in diagnosing malignancy is 100%, and specifi city is 93.55%. Positive predictive value is 95.65%, negative predictive value is 100% which implies FNAC as a screening test . Conclusion: FNAC is an important and essential preliminary test in diagnosing a patient presenting with a breast lump and proceed with appropriate surgical management, and it shows a high degree of correlation with the fi nal histopathological report.
