Methods and materials: - A record of a total number of patients who have undergone FNAC over the past five years from September 2013- July 2018 for a breast complaint were taken as the study population. And the information was collected by trained data collectors using a structured data collecting guide. Data was compiled and analyzed using SPSS V.22 software and presented using tables and figures.             

  Result: - Total of 698 patients had undergone FNAC for breast complaints during the study, period. Out of the 683 cases included in the study there were 598(89%) females and 75(11%) males. The age of the participants ranged from 8 to 80 years with a mean age of 32 and SD ± 13 years. In the study there were 73(10.7%) malignant cases.
