Needle Aspiration Cytology

Soft tissue can be defined as non-epithelial extra skeletal tissue of the body, exclusive of the reticuloendothelial system, glia and supporting tissu e of various parenchymal organs. FNAC is a useful tool in distinguishing accurately between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. To study the utility of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumours. To correlate FNAC with histopathological examination of soft tissue tumours with immunohistochemistry and / or histochemistry wherever required and assess the overall sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in diagnosing soft tissue tumours.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of fine needle aspiration cytology for the preoperative diagnosis of soft tissue tumours of the hand. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed on 93 soft tissue tumours of the hand which were classified as malignant, benign or unclassified based on cytological findings. We also attempted to make specific diagnosis by cytology. The cytological diagnosis was then compared with the postoperative histopathological diagnosis. The cytological differentiation between benign and malignant tumours showed neither false-positive nor false-negative results. Of the 47 lesions with sufficient material for cytology and that were postoperatively diagnosed histologically, 35 (including one recurrent lesion) were correctly diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. No complications were encountered. Fine needle aspiration cytology has a high degree of diagnostic accuracy and safety for soft tissue tumours of the hand.
