Abstract

The main indication for fine needle aspiration (FNA) of liver is the evaluation of mass lesions.(Silverman JF,Geisinger KR-1996).In most FNA biopsies of hepatic masses an accurate diagnosis can be rendered based on the cytomorphological features alone,(Silverman JF,geisinger KR-1996). However in selected cases, ancillary studies can be quiet helpful in refining the diagnosis.( Silverman JFFinely J L,o'Brein KF 1989). By onsite discussion with radiologists and clinicians, the cytopathologist may gain significant data to integrate into the final diagnosis.The major indication for FNA of the liver is the evaluation of a hepatic mass. FNA biopsy, is especially useful in the investigation of non-neoplastic & especially neoplastic mass lesions of the liver. Keywords: Diagnosis, FNAC , Liver, ultrasound
