Needle Aspiration Cytology

Background: Breast cancer is the common malignant lesion in women. Fine needle aspiration cytology has high sensitivity and specificity and is a simple, rapid and safe method to diagnose breast lesions. The aim of the study was to categorize breast lesions and correlate the Fine needle aspiration cytology diagnosis with histopatholoical findings. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study done in department of Pathology of Institute of medicine, Trivuwan university teaching hospital, from January 2007 to December 2010. There were 1403 FNAC cases and 469 histopathology cases. Fine needle aspiration correlation with histopathology was done in 249 cases. All the cases were categorized according to risk for cancers: Unsatisfactory sample, Inflammatory breast disease Benign proliferative breast disease without atypia, Benign proliferative breast disease with atypia, Suspicious for malignancy and Malignant lesions. Results: Benign breast lesions were common in the age group of 21-30 years and malignant breast lesion common in the age of 41-50 years of age. In our study fibroadenoma was most common benign lesion and ductal carcinoma was the most common malignant lesion. The sensitivity and specificity of FNAC for malignancy were found to be 98.2% and 98.5% respectively. Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration cytology is highly sensitive and specific technique for diagnosis of most of the malignant and benign breast lesions.

Aim: Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm worldwide. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a minimally invasive, highly sensitive and cost effective investigation for breast lesions. The aim of our study was to evaluate the spectrum of fine needle aspiration cytology findings of breast lesions. Material and Methods: It was a prospective study conducted in the Department of Pathology during a 2 year period from Jun 2016- May 2018. A total of 284 patients with breast lesions were subjected to ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology. Result: The age of presentation ranged from 13 years to 81 years with a mean age of 34.9±13.5 years. Most common age group for breast lesions was in 21-30 age groups (39.1%). Fibro adenoma was the most common benign pathology (26.8%) followed by fibrocystic changes (26.4%). Malignancy was noted in 16.2% with majority in the 41-50 age groups. Parasitic infection was noted in 2 cases. Conclusion: Screening of breast lesions is warranted resulting in significant reduction of morbidity and mortality related to breast cancers. Fine needle cytology plays a pivotal role in the overall management of breast lesions.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

All breast lesions are not malignant, and all the benign lesions do not progress to cancer; however the accuracy of diagnosis can be increased by a combination of preoperative tests. About 30% of women suffer from breast disease in their lifetime. The main objectives are to explore the role of FNAC in diagnosis of breast disease at different ages. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has become a critical component in the investigation of palpable breast masses. Total 208 cases included in this study at Comilla. The data was formulated and analyzed by SPSS-12. 79(37.98%) cases were at the age of 21-30 years and next one was 11-20 years which was 48(23.07%). Among them 40(19.23%) cases were   malignant and 168(80.77%) cases were benign in nature. The incidence of malignancy was increased with relation to age. As the age is more chance of malignancy is more. In benign types fibroadenoma was the common disease then the duct cell carcinoma, fibrocystic change, suppurative   inflammation respectively. The findings were 43.75%, 19.23%, 18.27% and 8.65%.In conclusion, fine needle aspiration cytology, for diagnosis of breast lump can reduce the number of open biopsy and   surgery.
