Study of fine needle aspiration cytology of breast lesions along with histopathological correlation
Journal Title: IP Archives of Cytology and Histopathology Research - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
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. A total of 100 cases of breast lesions were evaluated for FNAC and Histopathology correlation. Results: FNAC of breast lesions in study had a sensitivity of 96%, specificity of 95%, diagnostic accuracy of 94%, positive predictive value of 93%, and negative predictive value of 96%. Conclusions: FNAC smears of Breast lesions show good accuracy when correlated with Histopatholgy and useful for optimal diagnosis.
