Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology for Diagnosis of Abdominal Lumps
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Considering Indian setup of medical facilities, FNAC has proven itself as a boon for Indian Medical Personnel. Ultrasound guided FNAC of intra-abdominal masses is widely accepted as safe and effective method of diagnosing malignant lesion Material and Method: FNAC of 88 randomly selected cases of abdominal lumps was performed under ultrasonography guidance. The results were correlated with available histopathology in 34 cases Result: The sensitivity of FNAC for abdominal lumps in the present study 91.18% and diagnostic accuracy is 100%. Most commonly involved organ was liver (37.50%) while spleen was least involved (1.14%). Present study shows that incidence of malignancy in abdominal lumps is 80.68 % rest were either acute (6.82%) or chronic inflammation (4.55%) or benign tumors (7.95%).
