Pathologist-Guided FNAC is a diagnostic procedure where a pathologist uses a fine needle to extract cells or fluid from a lump, swelling, or mass for microscopic examination. This test is minimally invasive and typically performed with real-time pathologist involvement, ensuring accurate site selection and sample adequacy. FNAC helps evaluate whether a lesion is benign, malignant, or inflammatory.

It can be done on various body parts, including the thyroid, lymph nodes, breast, salivary glands, or soft tissues. The collected sample is then stained and studied under a microscope to look for abnormal or cancerous cells.

    Description

    Why It’s Done:
    Pathologist-Guided FNAC is recommended to:
    • Diagnose or rule out cancer in a suspicious lump or nodule.
    • Investigate swelling or enlargement in organs or lymph nodes.
    • Differentiate between benign and malignant tumors.
    • Evaluate cysts, abscesses, or inflammatory lesions.
    • Monitor recurrence in previously treated malignancies.
    • Aid in treatment planning by confirming the nature of the lesion.

    Preparation:
    • No major preparation is needed.
    • You may be asked to avoid certain blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin or anticoagulants) before the test—follow your doctor’s instructions.
    • Inform your healthcare provider if you have bleeding disorders, allergies, or are pregnant.
    • The procedure is usually done in an outpatient setting.
    • You may feel slight discomfort or pressure during needle insertion, but anesthesia is usually not required.
    • After the procedure, a bandage is applied, and you may resume normal activities shortly.
