Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or abnormalities in the body by collecting a small sample of tissue or fluid using a thin, hollow needle. The needle is typically inserted into a suspicious area such as a lump, cyst, or mass, often in the breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, or other soft tissues. Once the sample is collected, it is examined under a microscope to check for signs of disease, including cancer, infections, or benign conditions. FNAC is minimally invasive, relatively quick, and provides valuable information about the nature of the abnormality.
