Abstract
Percutaneous fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was employed as preoperative diagnosis in 92 solid renal masses from June, 1984 till December, 1990. Ultrasonography guided FNAC was employed in 26 lesions. There were 79 malignant tumours, 3 benign tumours, 6 lesions were inflammatory and only necrotic material was seen in 4 cases. Correlation with histopathology showed diagnostic accuracy of 91.3%. There were two false positive reports. No complication was encountered in this study.
