Journal Title: Harsukh Educational Charitable Society International Journal of Community Health and Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Soft tissues are the supportive tissue of various organs as well as the non epithelial, extraskeletal structures. They include adipose tissue, fibrous connective tissue, skeletal muscle, blood vessels, and the peripheral nervous system. Aim of the study: To analyze initial diagnosis of superficial soft tissue lesions with Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in the Department of General Pathology of the Medical institute. The study was conducted on subjects who were referred to the Department of General Pathology with superficial soft tissue masses for the study period. A total of 114 patients reported to the department for the FNAC of soft tissue lesions. We excluded the subjects with breast lesions, lymph nodes lesions, and salivary glands lesions. A total of 100 patients were selected for the study. We used Franzen’s type aspiration handle, 20cc syringes for aspiration of the sample from the soft tissue lesion.Results: A total of 100 cases were studies. The FNAC samples were obtained and cytological and histological studies were done. The results showed that number of benign lesions was 14 and number of malignant cases was 14. Of the benign lesions, lipoma was the most common benign lesion, followed by hemangiomaand neurofibroma. Conclusion: FNAC is a highly reliable procedure for initial diagnosis of superficial soft tissue lesions. In our study, 86% cases were benign and 14% cases were malignant.
