Abstract :

Presently in today’s era of advanced technology, accurate diagnosis of east lesions depends on a triple assessment approach. Although histopathological examination is the standard method for definitive diagnosis. Along with clinical examination as well as imaging studies, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) provides sufficient information. As proper reporting categorization of the FNAC smears gives clear message to clinician, treatment can be planned immediately without delay. Because of its accuracy and ease of use, still it is widely adopted for the preoperative pathologic assessment. This study aims to discuss the clinical use and application of FNAC and reporting categorization in various east lesions.
