Abstract

FNAC and/or FNCB is a rapid, accurate and safe diagnostic procedure that can be used in diagnosing various neoplastic and non neoplastic diseases of the liver. The advent of newer modalities possessing the ability of providing cross sectional anatomy, namely computed tomography (CT) and USG have revolutionized the guidance for FNAC(Fine needle aspiration cytology and FNCB(Fine needle core biopsy). During the study period, a total number of 93 cases were studied. Study was performed on admitted and OP and IP patients in whom hepatic mass was confirmed by radiological examination. All cases where lesion/pathology in the liver was suspected cases were taken for study. After obtaining the detailed clinical and radiological data, the patient was subjected to FNAC/FNCB under Ultrasound or CT guidance. The consent of the patient was taken before under taking the procedure. Out of these 93 cases 51 (54%) cases underwent FNAC of liver lesions whereas 42 (46%) cases underwent core needle biopsies. Out of 42 cases which were subjected to FNCB, 07 were diagnosed as non‐neoplastic and 33 cases as neoplastic respectively and 02 case were opined as normal liver cytology. Histological diagnosis of MDHCC (moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma) was showing tumor cells are large polygonal with prominent nuclei some of them showing prominent nucleoli, cytoplasm is ample dense eosinophilic granular. Occasional bizarre mono and multinucleated giant cells with a desmoplastic stroma. Ultrasound or CT guided FNAC / FNCB (core biopsy) of liver permits the categorization of more frequent non‐neoplastic lesions and neoplastic primary and secondary metastatic malignancies in a simple and rational manner which is helpful for the management of hepatic lesions.
