Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The introduction of modern diagnostic imaging techniques, mainly USG and CT scan now has enabled the detection and location of lesions in sites which are not easily accessible to surgical biopsies, besides offering vast opportunities for fine needle aspiration of the deeper structures. Aims & Objective: study the cytomorphilogical features of intra abdominal mass and thoracic lesions, categorise them organ wise and also as inflammatory, benign and malignant lesions and correlate histopathologically whenever possible. Material and Methods: present study conducted on total 114 guided aspirations under ultrasound/CT scan in radiology department and cytologically evaluated in Department of Pathology, Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College, Jhansi between august 2016 to august 2018.

Conclusion - guided FNA is a rapid, accurate, economical and safe diagnostic procedure for deep-seated mass and post procedure complications are few.
