| Popis: |
A study of 276 consecutive fine needle aspirations (FNAs) of the breast in 240 cases is presented. Of these cases, 108 underwent subsequent biopsy of the breast; correlations between the FNA cytology and the surgical pathology findings revealed that FNA had a sensitivity of 79.4%, a specificity of 100% and a predictive value of a positive diagnosis of 100%. The overall diagnostic accuracy was 92.4%. These results are compared with those in other published series, and the pitfalls in and methods of improvement of breast FNA are discussed. |
