Mammography-guided stereotactic fine needle aspiration cytology of breast lesions.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of mammographic guided stereotactic fine needle aspiration cytology in 136 patients with breast lesions including mammographic features, cytomorphological findings and nuclear grading in malignant cases. Majority of the cases were predictable correctly by combination of the three modalities of diagnosis viz, clinical examination, mammography and cytology.
