Abstract

BACKGROUND- This study was undertaken to study the spectrum and cytomorphological features of male chest wall lesions including breast . A total of 50 cases presenting in a year were studied.METHODS- Aspiration was carried out in all the male patients presenting with chest wall and breast lesions. All smears were stained with MGG and their cytomorphology studied. Ziel-Nelson staining was done on necrotic aspirates to look for AFB.  RESULT- Maximum numbers of cases (16) were seen in 21-30 yrs of age group while only 1 case was encountered in 8th decade. Most common diagnosis was lipoma (28%) followed by gynaecomastia (20%), inclusion cyst(18%), necrotizing inflammation (12%), acute/subacute inflammation(08%), spindle cell lesion(04%),  adenocarcinoma (04%) and high grade NHL (02%). The cases, for which histologic confirmation could be sought, showed 100% cytohistologic correlation.CONCLUSION- It was concluded that fine needle aspiration cytology of male chest wall lesion is a useful, safe and diagnostic procedure with high rate of histological correlation.DOI:10.21276/APALM.1888
