FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY - RLN

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure where a thin needle is inserted into a suspicious tissue or fluid - filled area.A small sample of cells is aspirated and examined under a microscope.This test helps determine the nature of the lesion, whether it is benign or malignant.In the context of RLN (Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve), FNAC can be used to sample lymph nodes or other suspicious masses near the nerve to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning, especially in cases of recurrent head and neck cancers.
