Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate diagnostic accuracy, usefulness and limitations of image guided FNAC of intraabdominal and intrathoracic masses.

Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed from various anatomic sites: liver (5 cases), ovary (3 cases), pelvis (2 cases), gall bladder (2 cases), omentum and retroperitoneal lymph node each (1 case). Thoracic aspirations were done from the lung (20 cases) and mediastinum (1 case). The most common malignancy encountered in the abdomen was Adenocarcinoma (7 cases).
