Detail Description

FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY - Procedure with Reporting

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a diagnostic procedure used to obtain cells from a lesion or mass for examination under a microscope. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting with minimal discomfort to the patient. FNAC is commonly used to diagnose various types of cancers, including breast, thyroid, lung, and liver cancers.

Procedure

The procedure involves the insertion of a fine needle into the lesion or mass, which is then aspirated to obtain cells. The cells are then placed on a slide and stained for examination under a microscope. The entire procedure takes about 15 to 30 minutes and can be performed in a doctor's office or clinic.

Reporting

The results of the FNAC are typically available within a few days. The report will contain information about the type of cells obtained, as well as any abnormal findings. The report will also provide recommendations for further testing or treatment based on the results.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

FNAC is often used to diagnose cancer, but it can also be used to diagnose other conditions such as infections or inflammatory diseases. Some common symptoms that may warrant an FNAC include:

• Lumps or masses in the breast, thyroid, or other parts of the body
• Enlarged lymph nodes
• Abnormalities in imaging tests such as X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with your doctor. They may recommend an FNAC or other diagnostic tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.
