Role of FNAC in Early Detection and Diagnosis of Lung Lesions with Histo-radiological Correlation and Clinical Insights in a Tertiary Care Centre

Background: Carcinoma of lung has now become increasingly frequent during the last 60 years; this increase is seen in males and especially females. Cytological evaluation from respiratory tract initial investigation along with radiological investigations patients suspected to have pulmonary diseases. The various cytological samples included transbronchial needle aspiration, guided fine aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears pleural fluid. Present study was undertaken spectrum lesions diagnosed by cytomorphological analysis correlation histopathology, radiology lesions. Materials Methods: Centrifuged direct received were stained MGG PAP stain. Cytohistological done when biopsy available & comparison topographic display. Results: carried out period December 2018 November 2019. During period, total 52 cases, 36 (69.2%) 16 (30.8%) Their age ranged 26 years 73 years, most (53.8) belonged group 56 – 65 years. literacy status assessed. 2 (3.8%) illiterate, 8 (15.4%) educated above H.S. level. Adenocarcinoma be prevalent 29 (55.7%) followed squamous cell carcinoma 12 (23.0%) among cases studied. Smoking common addiction i.e. 34 (65.4%). Among non-smokers 66.7% presented adenocarcinoma 16.6% carcinoma. topography neoplasms within lungs assessed radiologically. On chest X ray (82.6%) identified; (48%) found effusion. By using CT SCAN, all masses located definitely. Conclusion: A good between histopathology revealed our study. Guided FNAC helps early detection diagnosis facilitates appropriate management patients.
