An FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a quick, minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or masses located just under the skin.
Instead of a surgical incision, a very thin, hollow needle (even thinner than the ones used for blood draws) is inserted into the lump to “aspirate” (suck out) a small sample of cells. These cells are then spread on a slide and examined under a microscope by a pathologist to determine if the lump is inflammatory, benign (non-cancerous), or malignant (cancerous).
