Fine needle aspiration cytology of intrathoracic lesions--a repraisal. Indian Journal of Pathology & Microbiology. 1989 Oct; 32(4): 306-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/73144FNAC was performed in 186 cases. Inadequate material was obtained in 41 cases. A definite diagnosis of malignancy could be made in 120 cases. In five cases a diagnosis "suspicious" of malignancy could be made. No serious complication was encountered with the technique. FNAC is of definite help in diagnosing the intra thoracic lesion whether malignant or inflammatory in nature. It also avoids unnecessary thoracotomy for diagnostic purposes.engBiopsy, NeedleHumansThoracic Diseases --diagnosisThoracic Neoplasms --diagnosisJournal Article
