Abstract
Computerized tomography (CT ) guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of lung lesions has rapidly emerged as a less?invasive, cheap, rapid and fairly accurate diagnostic aid in lung lesions. A total of 66 cases presented as localised lung masses out of which 64 cases (96.9%) were consistent with malignancy, and 2 cases (3.1%) benign on clinical and radiological evaluation. On cytological evaluation of 66 cases, 62 cases (93.8%) were considered malignant, 2 (3.1%) of them benign and 2 cases (3.1%) were inadequate for diagnosis.The diagnostic adequacy in current series is 97.0%. Complications were infrequent and included pneumothorax in 4 (6.1%) cases. By cytology, the most common malignant lesion was adenocarcinoma (42.2%)followed by squamous cell carcinoma (31.2%), adenosquamous carcinoma (6.2%), and lymphoid neoplasm (4.7%). Radiological findings were consistent with cytomorphological findings in all cases.Present study thus concludes that CT guided FNA of thoracic lesions is a simple, safe, economically prudent technique associated with low morbidity and leading to quick and early diagnosis. Conclusive diagnosis on FNAC obviates the need for open biopsies. CT?guided FNAC is an extremely valuable and fairly accurate diagnostic aid of intrathoracic mass lesions, with a reasonable rate of complication
