Four quadrant fine needle aspiration cytology for the detection of benign proliferative breast lesions accompanying breast carcinoma.

Four quadrant fine needle aspiration cytology of non-palpable benign proliferative breast lesions.

Seventy-eight symptomatic females without palpable breast lumps were subjected to bilateral four quadrant fine needle aspiration cytology. Cytological evidence of an epithelial proliferative lesion was seen in 44 of these cases. Based on the cytological evidence of proliferation, the site for open biopsy was determined. Histopathological study of the breast biopsies in these patients showed pro...

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology with Histopathologic Correlation in Breast Lesions

Introduction: A palpable breast lump is a common clinical problem that needs thorough evaluation by clinical examination, FNAC, mammography and biopsy if required. Aim of the Study: To study the accuracy of fine needle aspirations in breast diseases and compare it with histopathology. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study carried out in the department of Pathology, Shadan Institut...

Myoepithelial Cells: Any role in aspiration cytology smears of breast tumors?

AIMS AND OBJECTIVE To study the role of myoepithelial (ME) cells in distinguishing benign, proliferative breast diseases (PBD) and frank malignant breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, histology proven 71 cases of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of palpable breast lesions were selected. There were 30 invasive carcinomas (24 infiltrating duct carcinoma and 6 infiltrating ...

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Intraocular, Orbital and Eyelid Lesions

Background: Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is used for diagnosis of intraocular, orbital and eyelid lesions. In this study we evaluated the outcome and the accuracy of using this technique in diagnosis of benign or malignant behavior of lesions. Methods: FNAC was performed on 26 specimens obtained from 25 patients with intraocular, orbital and eyelid tumors and the results were compared...
