Abdominal mass is a frequent presenting symptom in the pediatric surgery OPD and many of them are diagnosed as Wilms’ tumor. FNAC has been recognised as a useful tool for diagnosis of pediatric abdominal masses. But the role of FNAC in the diagnosis of Wilms’ tumor is still controversial. FNAC in operable tumors was performed sometimes only when the diagnosis was in doubt on radiological evalution. It is a safe technique that does not upstage the tumor and permits positive diagnosis of nephroblastoma in almost all aspirates. Here we report a case of a two and half year old girl child admitted to hospital with right subhepatic mass. Cytodiagnosis of Wilms’ tumor was given. In the present case, our aim is to stress the utility and preoperative diagnostic role of FNAC in pediatric tumor. |
