Objectives: The liver is a common site for primary as well as secondary malignancies. Ultrasonography (USG)-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a rapid, accurate, economical, and safe diagnostic procedure for various hepatic lesions. The aims of the study were to categorize and study the cytomorphological features of the hepatic lesions, study the age and sex distribution and analyzing cytological features of the hepatic lesions, and to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of USG-guided FNAC in diagnosing hepatic lesions. Methods: A prospective and observational study of 64 patients with clinically and radiologically diagnosed hepatic lesions and referred for FNAC in department of pathology of a tertiary care hospital. USG-guided FNAC was performed in each patient and cytological features were analyzed. Results: In our study, out of total 64 USG-guided FNAC of liver, metastasis was most common – 33 cases (51.56%), followed by primary hepatocellular carcinoma – 18 cases (28.12%), liver abscess – 6 cases (9.37%), and 7 cases (10.93%) were unsatisfactory smears. Conclusion: USG-guided FNAC, in expert hands being simple, safe, quick, reliable, cost-effective, efficient, and easily available OPD-based procedure and with less number of complications, it has a very important role in accurate diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma, secondary malignant tumors of liver, and inflammatory lesions of liver.

“…[ 2 ] In addition to this, ancillary techniques such as cell block preparation, cytogenetics, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry can be carried out on the samples obtained from the procedure. [ 3 4 ] Although it has been used as a valuable diagnostic technique for evaluating the mass lesions in adult patients, the application of FNAC in pediatric population was not acknowledged until recently. [ 5 6 ] Now, FNAC is gaining acceptance in pediatric population due to its benefits of lack of sedation and general anesthesia.…”

Introduction: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a well-established early diagnostic technique for evaluating mass lesions in adult patients. Now, FNAC in children is gaining acceptance and is used as a first-line investigation in diagnosis of pediatric lesions. Aims: To analyze the cytomorphologic spectrum of head and neck lesions in pediatric age group with histopathological correlation wherever possible and to study the utility of FNAC in pediatric head and neck lesions. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was carried out on all FNACs of head and neck lesions in pediatric age group (0-18 years), detected clinically or under radiological guidance for a period of 3 years from August 2018 to July 2021. Results: The study included 238 cases. Most of the cases were seen in the age group of 13-18 years and with male to female ratio of 1.35:1. Most common site of FNAC was lymph nodes (70.2%) and the commonest lesion encountered was reactive lymphadenitis (50.8%). Second most common site was thyroid (15.9%). Soft tissue/bone, salivary gland, miscellaneous/skin lesions were also encountered. Among the 43 neoplastic lesions, benign (31 cases) were more common than the malignant (12 cases). The malignant cases included non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Hodgkins lymphoma, metastasis to lymph node, low-grade sarcoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis of bone. Histopathological correlation was done in 32 cases (13.4%). Statistical analysis showed a sensitivity of 85.29% and specificity of 97.74%. Overall diagnostic accuracy was 96.3%. Conclusion: This study highlighted various cytomorphological patterns in head and neck lesions with high diagnostic accuracy in children. FNAC helps in proper planning of treatment modalities in head and neck masses in pediatric age group.
