Abstract
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has historically been used to diagnose thyroid cancers, growths on the neck, salivary glands and other ailments. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate efficacy of FNAC in the diagnosis of intra-osseous jaw pathologies among Indian patients. Diagnosis obtained through FNAC was correlated with histopathological examination in 42 cases with an accuracy of 84%. The sensitivity of FNAC in diagnosing bone lesions was 80% and the specificity was 88%. The positive predictive value was 86.9%and negative predictive value was 81.4%. Thus, the efficiency of FNAC in the diagnosis of lesions in the intra-osseous jaw among Indian patients is reported.
