“…As in our study, Bezabih[9] also reported lipoma (70.5%) as the most common benign STT and spindle cell tumor as the most common malignant STT (63.6%). Bennert et al [12] in their study of 117 patients found lipoma (69%) as the most common benign STT and MFH (27%) as the most common malignant STT, followed by liposarcoma (13.5%) on core needle biopsy.…”

Background:Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been employed as a useful technique for the initial diagnosis of soft tissue tumors (STT) as well for the identification of recurrent and metastatic cases.Aim:We conducted this study on soft tissue tumors to find the efficacy of FNAC and to finalize the histological diagnosis with immunostains.Materials and Methods:The present study was conducted on 126 patients of soft tissue tumors. FNAC and histopathology was performed in all the cases.Results:Hundred and five cases (83.3%) were diagnosed as benign and 21 cases (16.7%) as malignant. On FNAC, tumors were divided into six cytomorphological categories i.e. lipomatous, spindle cell, round cell, myxoid, pleomorphic and vascular tumors. Seventeen cases were inconclusive on cytology. In five cases, the type of malignancy was changed on histological examination. There were three false positive and two false negative cases giving a positive predictive value of 97.2 % in terms of malignancy, a sensitivity of 98.1% and a specificity of 96.7%.Conclusions:FNAC has a definite role in forming the initial diagnosis of STT, while histopathology with the aid of immunomarkers provides the final diagnosis.

BACKGROUNDCytopathology of skin has been established to be useful in the diagnosis of several skin lesions. This study aims to evaluate cytopathology as a quick non-invasive method for early diagnosis of different skin conditions including neoplastic and nonneoplastic. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a simple and rapid diagnostic technique. The present study is a retrospective analysis of 356 patients who were cytologically evaluated for various skin and superficial soft tissue lesions over a period of four years (W. E. F. January 2012 to December 2015) in the Department of Dermatology and Pathology of Tripura Medical College and Dr. BRAM Teaching Hospital. Amongst the 356 cases reported, 170 cases were non-neoplastic and 186 were reported as neoplastic skin lesions. Out of 186 neoplastic lesions, 134 (72.04%) were benign in nature and rest of the cases were malignant, i.e. only 52 cases (27.95%). Commonest non-neoplastic lesion epidermal inclusion cyst followed by acute suppurative lesions. Other lesions which were commonly reported in our study were Granulomatous lesions. It has been observed that FNAC performed carefully, skilfully with proper selection of cases leads to an early diagnosis in majority of the skin lesions.
