Abstract
Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology is very useful in diagnosis of breast lesions when properly correlated with Histopathology. Aims: To evaluate Breast lesions by FNAC and comparision with Histopathology. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study done over a period of year in Navodaya Medical College, Raichur.
