Fine needle aspiration cytology of soft tissue tumours in correlation with histopathology.
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.
