چکیده
FNAC of breast lump is an accepted and established method to determine the nature of the lump and it may play an important role when it is difficult to determine the nature of breast lump by clinical examination. It has been shown that, FNAC can reduce the number of open breast biopsies. FNAC has been found to have sensitivity ranging from 82% to 97.5% and specificity of more than 99% (7,8 and 9).

A total of 113 fine needle aspirates of the breast masses were evaluated in which the subsequent biopsy or mastectomy specimen were also available for histological examination. The age ranged from 16 to 80 years with a mean of 42 years. In benign conditions the mean age was 34.7 years while in malignant cases it was 48 years.
