ABSTRACT
Computed tomography (CT)-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) provides high diagnostic yield in lung mass lesions, with acceptable rate of complications. In a retrospective review of data of 32 patients, the cytological diagnostic yield was found to be 90.7% of which 93% were malignant and remaining 7% were tubercular. Procedure-related complications were observed in three cases (9%); minimal haemoptysis in two and pneumothorax in one. The study confirms that CT-guided FNAC of lung mass lesions is a very useful procedure with minimal complications.
