Soft tissue can be defined as non-epithelial extra skeletal tissue of the body, exclusive of the reticuloendothelial system, glia and supporting tissu e of various parenchymal organs. FNAC is a useful tool in distinguishing accurately between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. To study the utility of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumours. To correlate FNAC with histopathological examination of soft tissue tumours with immunohistochemistry and / or histochemistry wherever required and assess the overall sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in diagnosing soft tissue tumours.
