ABSTRACT
A study to detect the efficiency of Fine-Nieedlc Aspiration Cytology [FNAC] in evaluation of breast masses was carried out at DHQ Teaching Hospital, Abbotabad. During a period of 18 months, a total of 107 cases were studied, all of whom were females. They included 34 malignant and 73 benign lesions. A comparison, with histopathology of lesions showed a sensitivity of 76.47%; specificity of 100% and accuracy of 76.64% with no false-positive case on record. Hence it was concluded that FNAC could be adopted as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of breast masses and conventional biopsy could be resorted to in lesions where FNAC is not conclusive
