Age ranged from 5 months to 90\u2009years with M: F\u2009=\u20090.7:1. 138 (12.1%) were diagnosed as inflammatory lesions, 875 (77.0%) as benign, non\u2010neoplastic (tumor\u2010like) lesions and 123 (10.8%) were neoplastic lesions. The inflammatory lesions included 75 cases of synovitis, 30 cases of tuberculosis, 28 cases of abscess, one case of cysticercosis, two cases of gout, and fat necrosis each. In the benign, non\u2010neoplastic (tumor\u2010like) lesions, the most common lesion was ganglion (775 cases). The neoplastic lesions included 78 benign lesions with the most common being giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (61 cases). There were 40 cases of mesenchymal lesions, four cases of appendageal tumors and one case of malignancy (squamous cell carcinoma). Mesenchymal lesions accounted for 3.5% (40\/1136) cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>FNAC is very useful and simple investigation for early diagnosis of lesions of hand and wrist.
