Abstract
Background: Deeply situated, solitary or nonpalpable lesions of abdomen are a common problem in surgical practice and are generally hard to evaluate. impair the quality of life and may have poor prognosis leading to higher mortalities. By using imaging technique difference between malignant and non-malignant lesions is generally done. USG guided FNAC of intra-abdominal masses is a good diagnostic modality to facilitate treatment planning. Histopathological correlation aids in sensitivity and specificity of Ultra sound guided FNAC thereby making it first investigation of choice for evaluation of intra-abdominal masses. This study attempts to assess the utility of Ultra sound guided fine needle aspiration cytology of intra-abdominal masses and their histopathological correlation.
 Methodology: This Prospective study will be conducted in Cyto-histopathology division of Department of Pathology, JNMC, Wardha. Total 30 patients with abdominal masses will be enrolled in the study. Fine needle aspiration of the abdominal lump will be done in the Department of Radiology, using real time USG. The data will be analysed using appropriate statistical programmes.
 Expected Results: A significant correlation is expected between histopathology and ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology of intra-abdominal masses.
 Conclusion: Conclusion will be drawn from on the basis of results obtained from this study.
