Abstract

Carcinoma breast is the most common malignancy in females next to carcinoma cervix. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the lumps is the primary method in establishing the diagnosis of carcinoma. The nuclear grade of the tumor is an important prognostic factor that determines the outcome in breast cancer. The material obtained from the aspirate smears can be used to assess the cytological grade using Robinson criteria. This was correlated with well established histological grading of Scarff Bloom Richardson. Total of 70 cases were studied for which the histopathological correlation was available. The accuracy was 76.8%.
