Materials and Methods: The study was done in the Pathology Department at the Department of Pathology, Sambhram Institute of Medical Sciences, Kolar, Karnataka, India. This is a higher medical school. From May 2016 to April 2017, the study was done. The patient gave their informed consent. Fine needle aspiration cytology was done on people who had a history of breast lumps in 2010. Due to the need to get samples for surgical histopathological research, only 100 cases were included in the study. The cases that weren't being watched were taken out of the study.

Results: The main focus of this study is on finding out if there is a link between FNAC data and histological analysis in finding breast lesions. Breast tumours are hard to diagnose because they could be anything from harmless conditions to cancerous growths. Because it is quick, doesn't hurt much, and doesn't cost much, FNAC is an important testing method. Histopathology, which is the only way to be sure of a diagnosis, must be used to prove how accurate it is.

Conclusions: For breast lumps that can be felt, fine needle aspiration cytology is an important first test for diagnosis. The results are very similar to the final histological report.
