Image guided cytology is emerging as less invasive, cost effective procedure with remarkable sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic yield to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities for deep seated lesion. Aim: The aim of our study was to analyse the usefulness of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of intra-abdominopelvic masses and to assess the cytomorphological features of various lesions with their Age and sex distribution pattern. Materials and Methods: The study included 57 clinically and radiologically suspected palpable and non-palpable intra-abdominopelvic lesions. USG guided FNAC was done in all the non-palpable lesion and for a few selected palpable lesions. Giemsa?s and Papanicolaou?s stains were used. Results: Cases were reported in age range of 2-78 years with a M: F of 1.3:1. There were 37 (64.91%) malignant, 15 (26.31%) benign and 5 (8.77%) inconclusive cases. Liver and gallbladder were most common involved sites. This study showed 100% specificity and 95% sensitivity for malignant lesions. Diagnostic yield was 91.2%. Conclusion: USG guided FNA cytology is a simple and safe procedure. It can be utilized as a pre-operative procedure for the management of intra-abdominopelvic lesions.
