The study of breast disease by fine-needle aspiration, although diagnostically challenging, is a satisfying experience when accomplished properly, accurately, and as part of a team effort along with the radiologists and surgeons. Despite the upheavals that breast cytopathology has seen over the past decade with the advent of automated tissue biopsy devices, the procedure still plays an important role in most aspiration cytology laboratories, not only in major academic centers but also in many community-based practices.
