Abstract		Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of the breast lesions is a rapid, cost-effective and reliable preoperative diagnostic procedure, which does not require any previous preparatory procedures. In the hands of experienced cytopathologist, the sensivity and specificy is approximately 90%, while positive predictive value should be around 99%. False positive and false negative results are rare; best results are achieved when the cytopathologist himself performs FNAB, prepares the smears, and also interpretes the microscopic findings.
Summary		Aspiracijska biopsija s tanko iglo je tehnično nezahtevna, hitra in zanesljiva predoperativna diagnostična metoda lezij v dojki, ki jo lahko izvedemo brez kakršnih koli poprejšnjih priprav. Občutljivost in specifičnost metode sta v rokah izkušenega citopatologa približno 90 odstotni, napovedana veljavnost pozitivnega rezultata pa je okoli 99%. Napačno pozitivni in tudi napačno negativni rezultati so redki, še posebno v primerih, ko citopatolog sam izvaja aspiracijsko biopsijo in interpretira spremembe.
