Abstract
A method of definitive diagnosis is essential for the patients who present with palpable breast lump at the outpatient department. The method must be accurate, easy to perform and acceptable to the patient, safe, can be carried out in a busy clinic setting and must not require too much preparation or expensive equipment.1,2 A study, to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Tru-cut Biopsy, was conducted to differentiate between benign & malignant lesions of palpable lump in breast and to evaluate the validity of FNAC in arriving at a diagnosis with histopathological correlation The diagnostic efficacy, sensitivity and specificity observed in this study by FNAC were comparable to that observed in Tru-cut biopsy and those given in other texts. Hence FNAC stands as an effective and valid tool as the first line diagnostic modality in the preoperative diagnosis of both benign and malignant lesions. A positive correlation was also observed between Robinson cytological grading system and Scarff Bloom Richardson histological grading system. Discordance between cytologic grading and histologic grading was seen only in few cases.
