“…FNAC is a useful evaluation for both palpable breast masses and non-palpable breast lesions detected on mammography (Pinappel et al, 2004). The accuracy rate of FNAC in diagnosing breast cancer is more than 90%, which was consistent with our report in both groups of patients (Ariga et al, 2002).…”

“…Moreover, indeterminate pathology analysis will result in the need of repeat biopsies in between 4% to 32% of patients. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Breast conservative therapy, aimed at conserving as much breast tissue as possible, is the treatment of choice in patients with T1-T2 breast tumors. However, the rate of irradical resection and the need for a secondary surgical procedure is often over 10%, depending on the specific definition.…”

“…7 Between September 1992 and may 1996 another study was conducted in Department of surgery, St Joseph hospital, Denever, Colorado and concluded that the use of FNAC for solid breast lesion is accurate and cost effective with 100% positive predictive value, 100% specificity, 87% sensitivity and 89% negative predictive value. 8 The overall accuracy rate of FNAC is comparable with other studies in Indian Literature.…”

BACKGROUND: Malignancy of breast imposes significant reduction in life span. The prognosis of breast cancer is primarily dependent on the extent of disease and also early diagnosis in important. FNAC is a widely accepted cytological technique in the early diagnosis of palpable breast lesions. There have been many studies of accuracy of FNAC, which has been shown to be high in many centres. AIMS: To compare cytological and histopathological diagnosis of breast lesions and to establish accuracy of aspiration cytology as an early diagnostic aid. SETTINGS & DESIGN: This prospective study was conducted at our hospital on a study population of 66 female patients over a period of 1 year from 2010 to 2011. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 66 female patients presenting with palpable breast lesions were included. Males, pediatric age group and non-palpable breast lesions were excluded. FNAC was done in all cases and a comparison was made between clinical, cytologic and histopathologic results. CONCLUSION: FNAC is a simple, rapid procedure, which has got high level sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing breast lesions and should be a compulsory investigation before any definite therapeutic procedure is instituted.
