OBJECTIVES This study estimated the merit of employment of Grading Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (GFNAC) in the assessment of breast lumps, compared to conventional Conventional Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (CFNAC). METHODS Seventy-five women with breast lumps were referred to the surgical unit at Khartoum Teaching Hospital. Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) materials were obtained for cytolo...

Adenomyoepithelial adenosis of the breast is extremely rare. We treated a 35-year-old woman with two small painless hard lumps in her breasts. On ultrasonography, the lesion in the right breast (upper inner quadrant) showed heterogeneous echogenicity and irregular, well-defined, uniformly hypoechoic nodules separated by funiform hyperechoic areas. The entire lesion had unclear boundaries. Excis...

Angiolipoma is a benign variant of lipoma that is rare in the breast and may be confused clinically, radiologically and pathologically with other benign as well as malignant tumors. Clinicians, radiologists and pathologists in particular should not forget the existence of an angiolipoma of the breast to avoid unnecessary reaspiration of the lesion considering the smears with only adipose tissue...

This retrospective study aim at the correlation of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology(FNAC) of Breast lumps with Histopathology. 461 cases were compared and found a sensitivity of 97.49%, specificity 99.23%, Positive Predictive value of 98.98% and Negative Predictive value of 98.11%. FNAC results were very well correlated with histopathology and it can be combined with ancillary techniques to incr...
