Hence a quick diagnosis of a lump in the breast is essential. Fine needle aspiration cytology is an ideal initial diagnostic modality in breast lumps. There is an alternative method of performing needle aspiration, known as fine needle capillary cytology where the specimen is obtained using just a needle without aspiration.<br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: xx-small; color: #221e1f;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; color: #221e1f;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; color: #221e1f;"><span style="font-size: xx-small; color: #221e1f; font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This hospital-based cross sectional analytical study was carried out in Department of Pathology in National Academy of Medical Sciences, Bir Hospital for one year.
