ULTRA SOUND GUIDED FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY OF LIVER – FOUR YEAR STUDY (original) (raw)

This study evaluates the role of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosing liver lesions over four years. Out of 212 total intra-abdominal FNACs, 91 were on liver lesions, with a conclusive diagnosis in 83 cases (91.2%). The findings revealed a predominance of malignant lesions, primarily metastatic tumors (79.8%). The study demonstrates FNAC's effectiveness as a minimally invasive diagnostic tool, validating its high diagnostic yield and utility in clinical practice.
