Abstract : Introduction Abdominal cavity masses are often non palpable, deep seated and margins of these lesions are often undetached which makes it difficult to assess their size and shape. Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration is a technique which is safe, rapid, accurate and simple which can be used for cyto-histologic diagnosis in abdominal masses and also for the confirmation of the suspected malignant masses in various intra abdominal locations. we present a study on ultrasound guided aspiration cytology of abdominal masses, the objective being to study the abdominal masses according to age and sex, analyze the usefulness of ultrasound guided aspiration cytology in diagnosing abdominal masses, classification of lesions according to organ involved and to evaluate the accuracy of aspiration cytology in comparison to a histological diagnosis in available cases. Material And Method This study involved 106 cases with clinically and ultrasonographically diagnosed abdominal mass. Patient subjected to fine needle aspiration by a 20 guage needle and smears were made which were stained by H & E and papanicolaou stain. Result In our study we found most of the patients were in age group of 4th and 6th decade with the mean age of 48.4 + 15.7 years, malignant and benign neoplasm were in 6th decade but non neoplastic lesions were in 5th decade. And also there were 55.9% of female patient and 44.1% of male patient in our study. . 69 cases (67.7%) were malignant, 23 cases (22.5%) were non neoplastic and 10 cases (9.8%) were benign lesions. Most common organ involved was liver (34.3%) followed by ovary (14.7%), metastatic adenocarcinoma liver (15.6%) is the most common diagnosed mass lesion followed by Gall Bladder adenocarcinoma(11.6%). In our study the diagnostic accuracy rate was 95.83%. The sensitivity and the specificity of this study were 95% and 100% respectively Conclusion USG guided FNAC is a rapid, accurate, cost effective and a safe procedure which can be used as investigati
