Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Single and multiple mass lesions or diffuse enlargement of the liver that are suspected to be neoplastic in nature are targets of FNA. Study objectives were to assess the utility of image guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in the diagnosis of hepatic lesions and to study the cytomorphological features of these lesions, organwise and to categorize them as inflammatory, benign and malignant. Material and Methods: A prospective study of image guided percutaneous aspiration biopsy of hepatic lesions to evaluate its utility was undertaken during the period May 2012-May 2014 in the Department of Pathology (SKIMS), Srinagar, Kashmir. Results: There were 119 cases with satisfactory cell sample in 94 cases (78.9%) In 25 cases (21%), the aspirates were inadequate. The main indication of FNAC was hepatomegaly with abnormal USG/CT findings. 6.38% were benign, 89.36% were malignant, 2.12% were suspicious for malignancy. Metastatic tumors were the commonest and constituted 89.28%. Conclusion: Present findings have indicated clearly that FNA is an excellent method of confirming diagnosis of hepatic lesions.
