It has gained popularity due to its fast and easy approach and can be performed with very little complications. In other words, FNAC may save anxiety, trauma, time and money. Nevertheless, in FNAC of breast lumps paucity of aspirate material or morphological overlapping features make it challenging for cytopathologists in reporting. Materials and methods- It is a prospective study done from September 2021 to September 2022. A total of 98 FNAC cases, diagnosed as non malignant breast lesions were included in this study. The study was done at department of pathology, Tripura Medical College and Dr. B R Ambedkar Teaching Hospital, Hapania, Tripura. Some suspected infective cases with purulent material were sent to microbiology department for culture sensitivity testing and Zeihl-Neelson testing to rule out Acid Fast Bacilli. Reporting was done using IAC standardized reporting system for breast lesions. They have categorized the breast lesions into C1 to C5 (C stands for Code).
