The aim of the present study was to correlate cytological findings with histopathological findings and to determine the accuracy of FNAC in the diagnosis of breast lesions.

“…Of the total 400 cases, benign cases were found to be 376 and malignant cases were 24. Of the total diagnosed breast lesions 94% were benign, which is in agreement with findings by Bjerregaard and Kung'u [7] and Panjvani et al [9] Fibroadenoma was the most frequently diagnosed lesion in pre-menopausal women, consistent with both prospective and retrospective studies from India, [9] Uganda [10] and Pakistan. [11] Whereas in study by Tiwari [12] and Qasim et al [13] fibroadenoma (56.25% and 82.14%) followed by mastitis/breast abscess (20.31% and 10.71%) and fibrocystic disease (7.81% and 3.57%) were the most common breast lesions.…”

The probable reason for the irregularity in results may be due toless number of male cases (32/5%) reported by several authors [4,16,15]. In present study cases amounted to 32(5%).…”
