ABSTRACT
Lobular carcinoma is the most common pitfall in the cytodiagnosis of breast lesions. Of the cytological features described intracytoplasmic lumina are stressed by many authors as an important diagnostic feature. The present study aims at evaluating the importance of intracytoplasmic lumina in the cytodiagnosis of lobular carcinoma along with other cytological features. Fine needle aspirates from 11 cases of histologically proven classical lobular carcinomas of breast were reviewed. It was observed that the low cellularity, dispersed dyscohesive small cells, mild pleomorphism, nuclear moulding and Indian filing were the most important cytologic features which aid in the diagnosis of lobular carcinoma where as intracytoplasmic lumina were of little significance.
