    • Surgical pathology

    Background:

    • Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is an established diagnostic procedure.
    • Accurate diagnosis of palpable and radiologically evident lesions is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the utility of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) as a diagnostic tool.
    • To outline the scope of application for FNA in various clinical settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Cellular material is obtained using an 18- to 23-gauge needle.
    • The technique involves sampling from suspicious or palpable lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is demonstrated as a rapid, safe, and accurate diagnostic technique.
    • The procedure is applicable to a wide range of lesions including breast, prostate, thyroid, subcutaneous, pulmonary, and intra-abdominal.

    Conclusions:

    • Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a versatile and effective method for diagnosing diverse lesions.
    • The technique's safety, speed, and accuracy make it a valuable diagnostic approach in multiple medical specialties.
