Article Synopsis
- Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a less common but important diagnostic method for breast lesions, and this study evaluates its effectiveness compared to core needle biopsies.
- A review of 65 FNA cases revealed that while some results were insufficient or atypical, FNA demonstrated high sensitivity (76%) and specificity (96%) for detecting malignancy, with some false negatives and one false positive identified.
- The findings suggest that FNA remains a valuable diagnostic approach, especially for cystic lesions, and should continue to be used alongside imaging and clinical evaluation in breast lesion assessments.
