“…These findings agreed that reported in previous studies where the false positive rate did not exceeded zero to 0.5%, (Ige et al, 2014;Kumar and Kothari, 2014;Aly et al, 2014) Table.3 Duration of breast lumps at the time of presentation of the patients Our result of sensitivity and specificity were (78.6%) and (100%) respectively, these are comparable to the result obtained by Kumar and Kothari (India, 2014), Kumar et al, (India, 2015), Silas et al, (Nigeria, 2015) and Ibikunle (Nigeria, 2017) (Ige et al, 2014;Sujith et al, 2015;Kumar and Kothari, 2014;Ibikunle et al, 2017) the high specificity allows for the early diagnosis and treatment and management of breast cancer.…”

“…3 Since its origin and mainly during the last decade, studies from different countries have analyzed the diagnostic effectiveness of this technique. (Sujith et al, 2015;Saraf et al, 2016;Aly et al, 2014;Kumar and Kothari, 2014). In these studies, the diagnostic accuracy was between 88.5 and 94.8%.…”

“…It is also possible that the smears may be a cellular (no cells are harvested) making cytological analysis impossible. These are described as inadequate aspirates and rates vary markedly, being particularly operator dependent and cases have to be converted to CNB which is able to solve the problem (Tikku and Umap, 2016;Ibikunle et al, 2017;Aly et al, 2014;Kumar and Kothari, 2014;Ige et al, 2014) …”

Article InfoThis was a prospective clinical and pathological study included 24 Iraqi women patients complaining of breast lump managed in Alsader teaching hospital in Najaf. It is aimed to evaluate the benefit of fine needle aspiration (F.N.A.C.) cytology in comparison to histopathology examination in diagnosis of breast lump. Out of the 48 cases of breast lump to which F.N.A.C. was applied, the material aspirated by fine needle was found to be of benign cytology in 37 cases and malignant cells were diagnosed in 11 cases. The final histopathological examination of these 48 cases showed 34 cases benign and 14 were malignant. We have no false positive result in this study, specificity rate was (100%) and 2 false negative result giving sensitivity rate of (78.6%). Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration was highly specific and good sensitive compared to histopathology and can assist the diagnosis of breast lumps.

Background: Thyroid autoimmunity can cause several forms of thyroid disorders i.e. Grave's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, atrophic autoimmune thyroiditis, post-partum thyroidits etc. Cytological diagnosis may be sometimes difficult is some cases. In such conditions, cytology along with serological tests aid at reaching a correct diagnosis. Hence, this study was undertaken to evaluate the serum level of anti-TPO antibody with respect to serum concentrations of thyroid hormones and its importance in diagnosing autoimmune thyroiditis. Results: Ninety-five thyroid FNAC was included in the study, which comprises of 16.8 % males and 83.2% females with a M: F 1: 4.9. Maximum number of cases was seen in the age range 21-30 years (25.3%), mean age being 40.4years. The cytological diagnosis comprised colloid goiter(43.2%), lymphocytic thyroiditis(25.3%), Hashimoto thyroiditis(18.9%). Out of 42 cases of autoimmune thyroiditis diagnosed cytologically, 16 (38%) were hypothyroid, 4 (9.5%) hyperthyroid, 8 (19%) sub-clinical hypothyroid and 14 (33.5%) were euthyroid. The sensitivity and specificity of positive anti TPO in correctly identifying autoimmune thyroiditis was 85.7% and 79.2% respectively. The positive and negative predictive value for the test was 76.5% and 87.5% respectively. Conclusion

“…An adequate and good quality specimen is considered diagnostic or satisfactory. A benign cytologic diagnosis is reported 50% to 90% (average, 70%) [26,[29][30][31][32]. 10% to 30% of FNAC specimens could be suspicious for malignancy (indeterminate) (average, 20%) [26,29].…”
