Background: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a technique of taking cytology sample by means of a fine needle attached to a syringe. CT guided FNAC is a widely accepted method for differentiating lung lesions. It has been used to distinguish lung lesions into benign, malignant and inflammatory types. It has turned into an established discriminating procedure with excellent results worldwide. Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and safety of image guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) in various neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung lesions. Material and Methods: A prospective study was carried out in Department of Pathology, GRMC Gwalior. Fifty CT-guided fine needle aspirations were done over a period of one year and cytological diagnosis were made after staining them with May Grunwald Giemsa (MGG) stain and Pap stain. Results: In the present study group of 10-72 year old, definitive diagnosis was given in 41 cases, out of which benign lesions were 12%, in which the most common were Non Specific Inflammatory lesions(8%) followed by TB( 4%), malignant lesions were 70% in which Adenocarcinoma was seen in 48% cases followed by Squamous Cell Carcinoma in 20% cases and Small Cell Carcinoma in 2% cases. Conclusion: CT-guided FNAC is a generally widely accepted, simple-to-perform, accurate, safe, and cost-effective strategy for diagnosing a lung lesion with low morbidity rates. A cytological diagnosis is considered provisional in numerous cases, but it helps the clinician in handpicking the best course of action for the patient.
