Abstrakt: Background Bone lesions are usually diagnosed late as the manifestation of the disease is considered generalized discomfort. To impart swift treatment diagnosing the entity rapidly is a must and foremost. This can be done by using needle aspiration. The histopathological examination requires bone to be put in preservatives which can make the bone malleable for further examination. The procedure itself requires at least a week's time. The prolonged waiting for the report is traumatic for the patient, leading to delayed treatment initiation. The present study focuses on using fine needle aspiration cytology as the diagnostic tool for evaluating bone lesions along with radiological examination. The finding is then matched with the pathological diagnosis as histopathology is the gold standard. The PPV is 77.8%, Sensitivity is 87.5%, Specificity is 75.0%, NPV is 85.7% and Overall Accuracy is 81.3%. A total of 92 cases were identified by the orthopedics department for a period of 3 years. The findings were identical to the other studies and so we can say that FNAC can be used as a tool for fast and easy diagnosis of bone lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
