dc.description.abstractFrom January 1990 to December 2000, 202 patients with clinical evidence of liver disease underwent fine needle aspiration cytology of the liver. Of these, 102 patients were diagnosed as non-neoplastic lesions. These include diffuse parenchymal disease of liver, liver abscess, hepatitis, and granulomas. There were 100 patients with malignancies of the liver. Out of the above, 64 were due to metastatic carcinoma, 31 were primary hepatocellular carcinoma, 1 hepatoblastoma and in 4 patients the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was made. By comparing with clinical and biochemical parameters, the diagnostic accuracy of the fine needle aspiration cytology, in this study, was found to be more accurate in malignant nodules of the liver as compared to other pathological lesion. The findings of fine needle aspiration cytology of the liver reported by other authors are discussed and it is concluded that this diagnostic method is a safe, useful and economic procedure with minimum complication and can be routinely done for assisting diagnosis of liver diseases in our clinical set up.en_US
