HI
Well come to HCM
FNAC is fine needle aspiration procedure and that does not need any anesthesia either local or general because it is not that painful and takes few minutes, and result can come within few hours or day, what the history given here you have to wait till the result comes, because I guess the lesion yet to be diagnosed, yes you can ask for CT imaging and this is also important, hope this information helps, take care.
