What Does Fragments Of Adipose Tissue On FNAC On Thigh Swelling Suggest?
My FNAC on right thigh swelling showes !)Smears are paucicellular 2) very few smears show fragments of adipose tissue 3) necrosis is not seen IMPRESSION: few fragments of adipose tissue only, Favour Lipomatous Lesion. Advised excision. can you advise what it means
Basically what they are saying is that they didn't see a lot of cells (smears are paucicellular), very few smears show some fat tissue (very few smears show fragments of adipose tissue), and there are no dead cells that they see (necrosis is not seen).
The impression is that the pathologist got is that it just looks like normal fat, which means the lesion is likely a common non-cancerous growth of fat called a lipoma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Daniel Richard Paull, Orthopaedic Surgeon
