Abstract
Fine-needle aspiration of the breast is one of the most common procedures performed on patients with a palpable breast mass. The pathologist needs to be aware of the diagnostic and prognostic parameters that must be included in the cytopathology report of breast carcinomas. These fundamental parameters include tumor type, nuclear grade of the carcinoma, and hormone receptor status.
