title: Fine needle aspiration cytology of soft tissue tumours in correlation with histopathology.
abstract: FNAC of soft tissue tumours was done in 67 patients. The findings were compared with histopathologic findings. Overall diagnostic accuracy was 93.33% for all lesions 93.93% for malignant mesenchymal tumours 93.33% for benign mesenchymal tumours and 100% for metastatic lesions. FNAC of soft tissue tumours provided acceptable diagnostic accuracy when supported by appropriate clinical and other diagnostic data.
