ABSTRACT
The efficacy and safety of unguided percutaneous fine needle aspiration cytology in peripheral lung lesions were studied in 42 patients. The diagnostic yield of unguided aspiration was 83.3%. The yield in malignant lesion was 85.7% while in benign lesion it was 78.6%. There was no false positive report. Complications seen were asymptomatic pneumothorax and blood tinged sputum in a few cases following aspiration. The procedure was well accepted by the patients. Unguided FNAC is a simple, quick, economical, safe and reliable procedure for the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions.
