Aims: To evaluate Breast lesions by FNAC and comparision with Histopathology.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study done over a period of year in Navodaya Medical College, Raichur. A total of 100 cases of breast lesions were evaluated for FNAC and Histopathology correlation.
Results: FNAC of breast lesions in study had a sensitivity of 96%, specificity of 95%, diagnostic accuracy of 94%, positive predictive value of 93%, and negative predictive value of 96%.
