Background: Soft tissues are the supportive tissue of various organ as well nonepithelial, extraskeletal structure. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a rapid diagnostic technique with limited patient morbidity for diagnosing soft tumours. However, FNAC lesion has not been widely used because concern about its accuracy. The difficulties arise in exact typing and diagnosis low-grade sarco...

Introduction: Thyroid nodule is commonly detected while performing an ultrasound of the neck. American College Radiology, imaging reporting and data system (ACR-TIRADS) a classification used to characterize thyroid nodules based on findings. The objective this study evaluate role ACR-TIRADS in differentiating benign malignant nodules.
 Methods: This prospective conducted at Manipal Teachin...

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for diagnosis of thyroid nodules. FNAC a cost-effective procedure that provides specific rapidly with minimal complications. Aims was to compare efficacy Clinical diagnosis, ultrasonography (USG), one another and histopathological examination (HPE) diagnosis.Methods: It prospective comparative stu...

Objective: To evaluate diagnostic performance of fine needle aspiration cytology[FNAC] in diagnosis of benign breast lesions. Methods: Women who had FNAC diagnosis of benign breast lesion were followed up with histopathological evaluation to assess the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC. Results: Out of sixty benign cases diagnosed on FNAC, fifty eight cases were benign and one case each of mastitis a...

Objectives: Breast disease remains a major public health issue worldwide. It is the most common cancer among Nigerian women. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an important preoperative assessment tool along with clinical and mammography examination in both screen detected and symptomatic breast disease. This study provide opportunity to determining the accuracy of FNAC and factors affec...

Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) overexpression can be used to predict patient prognosis in breast cancer (BC). Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a reliable predictive marker in invasive breast cancer (IBC). Thin-Prep (TP) specimens are commonly utilized for immunocytochemistry (ICC) in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Thus, we sought to investigate ...

Salivary gland tumours are relatively uncommon and most of the tumours arise from parotid gland. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is advised preoperatively as diagnostic tool but sometimes found to shown both false positive and false negative results. This study was aimed to find out distribution of neoplasm of major salivary glands and also to explore the sensitivity and specificity of F...

Abstract Background The incidence of the thyroid nodules and its detection is increasing rapidly. most precise method for diagnosis FNAC. But, about 10–20% specimens FNAC are indeterminate non-diagnostic. Therefore, there a demand another diagnostic evaluating nodules. Thyroid ultrasound elastography may improve ability to differentiate malignant from benign Few articles were published results ...

The thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TIRADS) and Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology (BSRTC) have been used for interpretation of ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) results of thyroid nodules. BRAF(V600E) mutation analysis is a molecular tool in diagnosing thyroid carcinoma. Our objective was to compare the diagnostic value of these methods in differ...

Background: Lymphadenopathy is an abnormal increase in size and/ or altered consistency of lymph nodes. It is a very common clinical manifestation of regional or systemic disease caused by the invasion or propagation of either inflammatory cells or neoplastic cells into the node and serves as an excellent clue to the underlying disease. Objectives: The study was undertaken to evaluate the diagn...
