The diagnosis of a soft tissue tumour, like other tumours, is always challenging. FNAC in the evaluation of primary soft tissue tumours, however, remains underutilized. FNAC of soft tissue masses possesses a number of distinct advantages. However, histologic grade is the most crucial factor in predicting prognosis. Immunohistochemistry (I.H.C) is an adjunctive diagnostic technique to histopathology. The aim of our study is cytological, histopathological and immunohistochemical correlation of soft tissue tumours involving the clinical parameters. This retrospective study was undertaken in histopathology laboratory of Department of Pathology, N. R.S Medical College and hospital, Kolkata for period of 2 years from October 2016 to September 2018. Fifty four (54) cases of soft tissue tumours were studied clinically, by FNAC, histology and immunohistochemistry. Results were statistically analyzed. Amongst 54 cases, 33 were benign, 17 malignant and 4 were inconclusive on FNAC. Comparing histopathology, the overall accuracy rate was 87.18%. Both the sensitivity and specificity of the study was 100%.
