Abstract :

 Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in diagnosis of the hepatic lesions. Methods: In this study, Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology was done in 60 patients presented with Hepatic mass. The study was done from April 2016 to March 2017 in department of pathology, JLNMCH, Bhagalpur. Thorough pathological analysis of samples done. Both male and female patients were taken into study with age group between 15 yrs to 65 yrs. Results: Total 60 FNAC were done.  Male to female ratio was 2:1. Average age group of presentation was 48years. Out of 60 aspirates, 48 were malignant, 10 were benign and in 02 cases the aspirate was not adequate to diagnose. Among benign, reactive changes and in malignant lesions, metastatic adenocarcinoma were most common. The most common malignant liver lesion was metastatic adenocarcinoma in 32 cases, HCC in 08 cases, metastatic sarcoma in 05 cases and metastatic anaplastic carcinoma in 03 cases. HBsAg positivity was observed in 36 cases. Conclusion: FNAC was less time consuming, safe, useful, reliable, accurate technique for making diagnoses of hepatic lesions. In our study we found that incidence of malignant hepatic lesions was more than benign.
