Abstract

Introduction: Fine Needle Aspiration cytology (FNAC) of bone tumors has now entered a phase of enthusiasm from initial skepticism. We carried out FNAC of bone tumors as a three years prospective study in 74 patients clinically suspected with bone tumors.

Obective : The objectives was to evaluate and establish FNAC as a routine procedure for bone tumors and to study the diagnostic accuracy by correlating cytological features with histopathology.

Materials & Methods : Sterile 21- 23 gauge needles with 10 - 20 cc syringes were used. All cases were studied under radiological and clinical guidance and also correlated with histopathology. Smears were stained by Papanicolou (PAP),Haematoxylin and Eosin (H & E)andLeishman stains.

Results : Overall diagnostic accuracy of FNAC bone tumors was 85.13%, for benign tumors 73.68%, for primary malignant tumors 89.09% and was 100% for metastatic bone tumors.

Conclusion : FNAC of bone tumors was proved to be safe, rapid, useful, inexpensive pre-operative procedure and a good experience of team work with Orthopaedic surgeons and Radiologists.

Keywords : Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), Bone Tumors,Benign, Malignant
