<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> There are few studies on the role of puncture feeling in thyroid nodules during ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC), although it is expected to become a new predictive technique. We aimed analyze importance combination with US-FNAC and investigate whether can be used as an indicator predict nature nodules. <b><...

INTRODUCTION Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC) of thyroid nodules is an important diagnostic procedure. In most hospitals, patients are referred to radiologists for US-FNAC, but this often results in a long waiting time before results are available. Surgeon-performed US-FNAC (SP-US-FNAC) during the initial patient consultation attempts to reduce the waiting time but it...

Background and Objective: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is well accepted as a useful diagnostic technique in the management of adult patients with head and neck lumps. But, until recently, very few reports have been obtained regarding the role of FNAC in nonthyroidal neck masses in children. Hence, the objective of our study was to determine the diagnostic value of fine needle aspirati...

BACKGROUND Thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the standard diagnostic modality for thyroid nodules. However, it has limitations among which is the incidence of non-diagnostic results (Thy1). Management of cases with repeatedly non-diagnostic FNAC ranges from simple observation to surgical intervention. We aim to evaluate the incidence of malignancy in non-diagnostic FNAC, and the...

The literature on Galectin-3 (Gal-3) was systematically reviewed to achieve more robust information on its histologic reliability in identifying thyroid cancers and on the concordance between Gal-3 test in histologic and cytologic samples. A computer search of the PubMed and Scopus databases was conducted by combinations of the terms thyroid and Gal-3. Initially, 545 articles were found and, af...

Gallbladder carcinoma is the one of most common malignancy, comprising 80–95% biliary tract cancers. Ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (USG-FNAC) seems to an effective diagnostic tool for accurate diagnosis gallbladder lesions, however data on its utility and cyto-morphological categorization lesions are still lacking. Aims: To study usefulness USG-FNAC in lesions. Materi...

Background: The management of breast carcinoma relies heavily on the diagnostic parameters. Over the years there has been a steady decline in the usage of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) over more popular core needle biopsy (CNB). The present study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital to evaluate the role of FNAC and CNB in diagnosis of suspicious breast cancer by keeping m...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mostly occurs in chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Liver resection and liver transplantation (LT) represent potentially curative treatments of choice and if not feasible, palliative strategies such as percutaneous interventional techniques (PITs) and chemotherapy (ChT) are considered. Elevated alfa-fetoprotein, typical imaging pattern, needle core biopsy (NCB) ...

BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation of the axilla, an important prognostic determinant for patients with invasive breast cancer, is achieved by non- or minimally invasive methods to avoid the potential hazards of operative intervention. The aim of this study was to determine statistical power of axillary ultrasound (US) and US-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for evaluating axillary...

The aim of the study: present study is to evaluate accuracy fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) thyroid swellings and correlate with histopathological findings avoid unnecessary surgeries for benign lesions.
 Methods: this a prospective study. A total 55 cases were studied in Department Pathology at A.C.S Medical College Hospital. Fine was done correlated examination. Sensitivity, speci...
