It is possible to diagnose benign & malignant breast lesions with the aid of fine needle aspiration cytology. Masood created a scoring method known as the Modified Masood's Scoring Index to help classify breast lesions. To estimate the cytological scoring of breast masses and correlation of findings with histological diagnosis. This study was done in the Cyto-Histology Department, Integral Hospital Lucknow for the duration of two years. The results were compared with gold standard histological diagnosis and classified using Modified Masood's Scoring Index. A total of 105 cases, females aged 15 to 70 with a mean age of 25.37 (SD=9.71) years were examined. On the left side, breast lumps were more common (547.1%) than on the right. The highest number of benign instances (84%) discovered in the younger age group, but malignant cases were more common in those over 35. Cytological analysis revealed that 73 (69.5%) of the cases had proliferative breast disease without atypia. Modified Masood's Scoring Index’s overall sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 100%, 97.87%, 98.1%, 84.62%, and 100%, respectively. A valuable diagnostic technique for breast masses is fine needle aspiration cytology, which offers a quick and precise diagnosis. Masood's Modified Scoring Index demonstrated a strong histopathological correlation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
