Abstract
Although tradition open incisional biopsy remains the diagnostic gold standard, FNAC has been identified as a useful diagnostic technique in the initial diagnosis of soft tissue neoplasm and is gaining importance because it is safe, cost effective, outdoor procedure along with high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Current study aimed to find out sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic predictive value of FNAC in soft tissue neoplasm assuming histopathology as gold standard. FNAC results in present study of soft tissue tumor had 100 % sensitivity, 97.36 % specificity, 89.28 % positive predicative value and 100 % negative predictive value in context of benign and malignancy.
