Hello,
For interpretation of the fine needle aspiration (FNA) report, it is first important to know the site of FNA.
I assume that the FNA is done from breast lump.
NA reveals round cells with prominent nucleoli and irregular nuclear margins raising the suspicion of malignancy.
Further core biopsy from breast lump will be required for histopathological examination to confirm the findings on FNA.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
