What is FNAC Test?
Fine Needle Aspiration (FNAC) is a diagnostic procedure in which a thin, hollow needle is used to remove a small sample of tissue or fluid from a lump or mass for examination. It helps in diagnosing various conditions like cancer, infections, and cysts.
What is FNAC Report Format?
The FNAC report includes information about the sample, its appearance, cellular characteristics, and whether malignant or benign cells were found.
Tests Included in FNAC Report
Test | Description |
Cytology Examination | Examines the cells from the tissue sample for abnormalities. |
Impression | A summary of the findings, indicating whether the sample is benign or malignant. |
Key Parts of a FNAC Report
Key Part | Description |
Sample Quality | Assesses whether the sample is adequate for diagnosis. |
Cytology Findings | Describes the cellular characteristics (e.g., benign, malignant). |
Impression | Summary of the diagnosis (e.g., benign lesion, suspicious, malignant). |
Normal Range for FNAC Report
Test | Normal Range |
Cytology Findings | No malignant or abnormal cells are found. |
Impression | Benign findings (e.g., cyst, benign tumor). |
Parameters to Consider in FNAC Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
Sample Quality | An adequate sample is needed for accurate diagnosis. |
Cytology Findings | Abnormal cells may suggest malignancy or infection. |
Impression | A benign result suggests no cancer, while suspicious findings may require further testing. |
Guidelines for FNAC Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Test Results | Clearly describe the sample quality and cytology findings. |
Interpretation | Provide a summary (e.g., benign, malignant, inconclusive). |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
Benign Result | Indicates the presence of a non-cancerous condition, such as a cyst or benign tumor. |
Malignant Result | Indicates the presence of cancerous cells. Further tests may be required for staging and treatment. |
Suspicious Result | May suggest malignancy; further diagnostic tests like biopsy or imaging may be necessary. |
