Cytodiagnosis of renal cell carcinoma – A case report
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) under radiologic guidance for diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma is well established and is increasingly utilized. Guided FNAC is very helpful for diagnosis, grading and determining operability of renal tumors in adults. Ultrasonography (USG) guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration cytology of renal masses was first reported by Kristensen, et al. The exact diagnosis is possible due to the characteristic cellular features of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Here, we presented a case of 45 years old female patient, who had retroperitoneal mass diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma on USG guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration cytology.
