2015年9月16日 · This document provides information about fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC): - FNAC is a quick and inexpensive technique to sample lumps and masses using a fine gauge needle. - A sample is collected by inserting the needle into a suspected mass, which is then studied under a microscope to help diagnose conditions like inflammation and cancer.

A significant number of cases of FNAC diagnosed granulomatous lymphadenitis have an identifiable underlying causal pathology. Our experience suggests that FNAC combined with clinical correlation is useful as a first line investigation. The high specificity of the technique helps to single out those that need further investigation or biopsy.

2020年8月1日 · FNAC of breast lesions studied with five cytological stains showed the background which was clean in 35 (79.5%) of MUFP and H&E, whereas 38 (86.4%) of MGG smears showed haemorrhagic

The FNAC is an inexpensive and minimally invasive technique to diagnose different types of head and neck swellings and complement histopathological diagnosis.

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) sampling and preparation technique, fixation, staining, and principles of its interpretation are covered. Immunocytochemistry and ancillary techniques are outlined, as well as the main clinical and radiological features of breast lesions, and the cytological diagnostics of axillary lymph nodes.

Fixatives and stains. Dried smear are stained by Romanowsky staining method, especially May Grunwald- Giemsa or its variation like Diff-quick stain. Other stains can be applied according to the need of diagnosis e.g. Grams, Z. N. stain, PAS, Alcian blue stain. Wet fixed smear by Papanicolaou stain. 1.5 glutaraldehyde fixative solution for EM study.

2020年10月29日 · The systematic approach of interpretation of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smear is the most crucial factor for the correct diagnosis. In this chapter, the approach to interpreting the FNAC smear is described in detailed step by step.

2018年5月6日 · FNAC is described as using a thin needle to aspirate cells from lumps or masses and make smears for microscopic examination. The document outlines the equipment, steps, applications and advantages of both techniques, noting they are minimally invasive ways to study cells for diagnostic purposes like detecting cancer.

The aim of the study was to assess the use of the modified ultrafast Papanicolaou (MUFP) stain for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of head and neck swellings in comparison with the routine PAP stain, hematoxylin and eosin (H and E), and Giemsa.
