Abstract

Most common sites for neoplastic and non neoplasticlesions is Liver. Ultrasound is the first and most important diagnostic tool for liver diseases. As sonography alone has its limitations, cytomorphologic analysis by FNA is required to increase the diagnostic accuracy. Accurate diagnosis of hepatic masses are very important as treatment ranges from supportive care for advanced metastatic lesions to primary carcinoma [1]. Ultrasound guided FNA of liver is safe,cheap,and relativelynon-invasive procedure with minimum complications. Cytological examination is sensitive and highly specific technique and can be routinely used for evaluation of liver diseases.
