Objective: This current study analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of cytology various salivary gland lesions and correlated with histopathological findings. Method: A 45 samples for fine-needle aspiration (FNAC) were obtained from patients who posted to department pathology. Aspirate all corresponding (HPE) specimens included. Results: Cytologic diagnosis reveals non-neoplastic, benign, malignant ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonograph and fine-needle aspiration cytologic examination (USG-FNAC) in the staging of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients. METHODS We conducted an electronic search of the literature addressing the performance of USG-FNAC in diagnosis of axillary lymph node metastasis in databases such as Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Ovid ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to establish the diagnostic accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) for intra-oral tumors, comparing with histopathology as the gold standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty cases of FNA cytology from intraoral tumors was performed in AFID along with the demographic data and clinical information and then diagnosed a...

Background: FNAC of the thyroid gland is now a well established first line diagnostic test for the evaluation of diffuse as well as nodular lesions of thyroid. The main purpose of FNAC is confirming benign lesions and thereby reducing unnecessary surgery. Objectives: this study was aimed at evaluating experience of FNAC and correlating the findings with tissue biopsy – in the diagnosis of thyro...

OBJECTIVE Immediate rapid on-site assessment (ROSA) of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) specimens by biomedical scientists (BMS), the UK equivalent of cytotechnologists, or by pathologists may improve specimen quality and cellular adequacy rates for lymph node, head and neck and thyroid FNAC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of introducing ROSA by BMS in an outpatient clin...

OBJECTIVE To determine the histopathologic correlation of fine needle aspiration cytology FNAC of breast masses seen in the department of histopathology of the Federal Medical Center Owo, Southwestern Nigeria. DESIGN This is a 5-year retrospective study of breast lumps seen at Department of Histopathology, Federal Medical Centre Owo, a tertiary health care facility in Southwestern Nigeria bet...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of sub-classification of breast diseases using Fine Needle Aspiration cytology (FNAC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A one-year prospective study of 180 consecutive patients with palpable breast lesions who underwent FNAC and subsequently open surgical biopsy for histological confirmation. FNAC was used to sub-classify breast lesions and the...

Aim of the study: To highlight the importance of cell-block study in combination with FNAC in the diagnosis of different thyroid lesions. Patients and methods: This study was a retrospective study of 85 Egyptian patients with thyroid swellings, coming to cytopathology unit, faculty of medicine, Zagazig U:niversity. FNAC and cell-blocks were performed for each case. Cytological results of FNAC w...

OBJECTIVE Ultrasonography (USG)-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of ovarian masses is an efficient diagnostic modality for accurately diagnosing ovarian tumours prior to surgery. The main aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of FNAC in diagnosing ovarian masses. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty-three patients with ovarian masses were recruited and ...

The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility of periareolar injection of the contrast agent Sonazoid (SNZ) followed by ultrasonography (US) for the identification of sentinel lymph node (SLN) in breast cancer patients with clinically negative node. Patients (n = 100) with T1-2N0M0 breast cancer received a periareolar injection of SNZ followed by US to identify contrast-enha...
