ABSTRACT
A prospective analysis was conducted on 110 FNAC and results were compared with histologicul reports of patients with intrahepatic focal defects. Cytology permitted a diagnosis of the lesion in 98% cases. When aspirates with insufficient material were excluded [4], the diagnostic accuracy of FNA was 94%. Among the 106 patients who underwent both procedures, FNAC and CNB had the some diagnostic accuracy 94% i.e., sensitivity 96% and specificity 93% of FNAC. There were no complications during the execution of FNAC and CNB. FNAC is an effective and safe method in the diagnosis of focal hepatic lesions, with diagnostic accuracy almost similar to that of CNB. When the two techniques are combined, the accuracy of the diagnosis of malignancy of focal liver lesions increases
