[|Human|] My mother was complaining pain in lower abdomen . She was rushed to a Local hospital yesterday where she was diagnosed as having a soft tumor and advised for a ultra sound and FNAC test. The US report came normal result.But due to absence of the technician FNAC could not be conducted yesterday, The test would be conducted day after tomorrow. I was told by my friend that, in case the tumor is a non-benign and being aspirated with a needle the tumor shall be spreaded all over the body and the patient would be un-recoverable. My question is should I go for an FNAC test as advised by my Sargon or leave the case for open surgery With regards Jamini Kar Mob : 0000 YYYY@YYYY
[|AI|]  Hi familiar, Thanks for visiting Chat Doctor.FNAC or fine needle aspiration cytology is a safe procedure using the smallest possible caliber of needle (24 or 26 G), going into tissue, aspirating whatever comes out, preparing the slide and getting it examined by a pathologist. And with in a matter of one day, the nature of the lesion is detected. Very few tumors spread along the track of FNAC. Believe me it is a relatively safe procedure and knowing the nature of the lesion is very important and many a time avoids surgery. Suppose it comes a tubercular lesion, only antitubercular treatment will do. It may be a simple benign cyst.Don't worry go for the procedure.... Best wishes
