Summary
Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a valuable diagnostic tool for pathological lesions. This method is accurate, informative, simple, quick, and cost-effective for lesion diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Pathology
- Oncology
- Cytopathology
Background:
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a common procedure for diagnosing pathological lesions.
- Lesions can include neoplasms, inflammatory conditions, and cysts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of fine needle aspiration biopsy.
- To determine the accuracy and utility of FNAB in pathological lesion detection.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective study of 22 cases undergoing fine needle aspiration biopsy.
- Analysis of diagnostic accuracy and confirmation with histopathology where applicable.
Main Results:
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy successfully diagnosed 17 out of 22 cases (77.2%).
- Specific diagnoses were achieved in 59% of cases.
- Suggestive diagnoses were confirmed by histopathology in 18.2% of cases.
Conclusions:
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy is an accurate and informative method for diagnosing pathological lesions.
- The procedure is simple, rapid, and economically advantageous.
- FNAB aids in the timely and cost-effective management of various pathological conditions.
