Cytopathological Evaluation Of Image Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology Of Liver Lesion With Cell Block Correlation.

Abstract

Background and rationale: Image guided fine needle aspiration cytology of liver lesion is a widely 
used procedure, providing rapid and accurate diagnosis. However, exact diagnosis is not possible 
always with information obtained by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytological material and the 
possibility of indeterminate diagnosis exists. Therefore, we attempted to obtain additional information 
via the preparation of Cell block (CB) from the residual material of aspirates to aid in increasing the 
diagnostic accuracy.
