FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY: A VALUABLE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR NEOPLASTIC CUTANEOUS NODULAR SKIN LESIONS - INSIGHTS FROM A TERTIARY CARE INSTITUTE
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in the evaluation of neoplastic cutaneous nodular skin lesions and to provide insights from a tertiary care institute. A total of 150 patients with cutaneous nodular skin lesions were included in the study, and FNAC was performed using a 23-gauge needle attached to a 10-ml syringe. The study found that FNAC is a valuable diagnostic tool for the evaluation of neoplastic cutaneous nodular skin lesions. It had a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 100% for diagnosing malignant lesions. The high sensitivity and specificity of FNAC for diagnosing malignant lesions indicate its usefulness as a diagnostic tool, and it can also help to guide appropriate management and treatment decisions. Therefore, FNAC should be considered as an initial diagnostic tool for evaluating cutaneous nodular skin lesions.
