Role of preoperative aspiration cytology in diagnosis of Breast Lumps.
Biomedica Jan ;12(2):72-5.

One hundred and thirteen patients underwent needle aspiration cytology of palpable breast masses. Hundred patients were operated and biopsy results were compared with cytological findings which revealed an accuracy of FNAC 95%, sensitivity 96.3% and specificity 91.4%. The study has shown that FNAC is a good complementary diagnostic technique. Its positive reports may be considered reliable but negative reports are inconclusive.
