Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a medical procedure used to obtain tissue or cell samples from a lump, mass, or fluid-filled cavity in the body for diagnostic purposes. The term fine needle specifically signifies the use of a fine or thin-gauge needle, which is delicate and designed for obtaining tissue samples.
FNAC uses a thin needle to collect a sample of cells from a lump or mass.
These collected cells are then examined under a microscope by a pathologist or cytologist to determine their type and whether they are cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign).
