ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the agreement of cytologic findings of the fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) with the histologic diagnoses. Determine the age, size, site, and pathology many more frequent in breast.
Methods: We are retrospectively reviewed 672 smears of breast of FNA, of period from january 1996 to june 1999. All 672 smears was fixed in 96% ethyl alcohol or air dried and stainded with Papanicolaou technique, was review for a cytopathologist.
Results: The percentages of smears inadequate was 53% (362 cases). Of the 310 cases with cytologic diagnoses 88% were categorized as benign and malignant neoplasms 11%. Only 78 cases were confirmed histologically. The agreement of cytologic findings with the histologic diagnosis was 85% and 66% of cases diagnosed as carcinoma and fibroadenoma, change fibrocystic respectively.
Conclusions: The fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is an established method, with high agreement cyto-histologic for diagnosing of palpable breast lesion in our Hospital.
