Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Role of FNAC in subcutaneous nodules is for the rapid, non-invasive diagnosis of primary tumors, tumor recurrence, metastatic tumors & the distinction between a reactive process likely to resolve spontaneously or respond to conservative treatment. It has limited role in diagnosis of primary tumor of skin & subcutis to ease of surgical excision. Only a few series of FNAC of subcutaneous nodules have been reported. In our study FNAC was done in 200 cases of palpable subcutaneous nodules that had come to the dept. of pathology, KMCH, Katihar in between January 2015 - December 2016. FNAC was done by using 22-23 gauge needle, smears were stained by MGG, PAP & H&E stains and evaluated with clinical & radiological correlation. Histopathological correlations were done wherever possible. There were 130 males (65%) & 70 females(35%) from age ranging between 1-72 yrs evaluated. Aspirations done from different sites of the body, most common was neck, shoulder & abdomen. Out of 200 cases, benign neoplasm were 124(62%), cystic lesions were 36(18%), infective were 32(16%) & malignant were 08(4%). Lipoma was the commonest subcutaneous nodule followed by benign cystic lesions. Keywords: FNAC, subcutaneous nodules, tumours
