Source abstract
Paediatric abdominal masses encompass a wide range of differential diagnoses including various inflammatory, benign and malignant aetiologies. A thorough clinical examination and imaging are the preliminary investigations of choice to ascertain the nature and extent of the abdominal mass. Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology (FNABC) is a rapid, reliable and cost-effective tool for the definitive diagnosis. In the present case, a 3-year-old child presenting with a gradually increasing large abdominal mass was subjected to FNABC.
