ABSTRACT
One hundred patients with enlarged prostate were subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology and histopathologic examination of prostate. The results have been found encouraging. The cytodiagnostic accuracy rate was 99 p.c. in identification of benign or malignant nature of the lesions and 94 p.c. in cytologic specific diagnosis (exactly similar to histopathologic diagnosis). The technique was simple, rapid, economical, reliable, easy to repeat and highly suitable for outpatients. The procedure can routinely be adopted in places where facilities for preparation of paraffin section do not exist or when quick diagnosis is required.
