Fine needle aspiration cytology of lesions of prostate glands and its correlation with its histopathology

Aspiration cytology specimens were obtained from 100 patients of prostatic enlargement by transrectal route. The cytological findings were correlated with histopathology. Diagnostic accuracy on aspiration cytology was 98%. There was no false positive diagnosis. Diagnostic yield of fine needle aspiration cytology and fine needle biopsy of prostatic lesions are very important diagnostic method for both palpable and non-palpable malignant lesions of prostate. Objective of this prospective study is to analyse the diagnostic yield of FNAC of all prostatic lesions. Prostatic lesions are in most cases diagnosed clinically by digital examination but well-differentiated adenocarcinoma which appeared in nodular form or in focal region can be missed. FNAC can give more accuracy for support of proper diagnosis of prostate lesions. In the early developing stage or in some of its localized expressions may pose diagnostic difficulties. A total of 100 patients subjected FNAC of prostatic lesions over a three years period (2013–2016). All FNAC reports were correlated with histopathology reports. All 100 cases of prostatic enlargement were available.
