Abstract :
Background: Cervical lymphadenopathy is one of the commonest presentations in children. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a simple, rapid, inexpensive and minimally invasive technique used for establishing the etiology of cervical lymphadenopathy with ease and accuracy. In this study, we evaluate children ≤ 14 years who present with cervical lymphadenopathy with this simple technique to know the etiological distribution and its correlation with other clinical parameter.Aims & Objectives: (1) To assess the distribution of various cytomorphological patterns of cervical lymphadenopathy in paediatric age group; (2) To assess the age specific distribution of various cytomorphological patterns of cervical lymphadenopathy. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out at Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College,Barpeta. Assam on 81 clinically diagnosed cases of cervical lymphadenopathy over a period of extending fromfromNovember 2019 to May 2020. Fine Needle Aspiration Diagnosis was correlated with details of relevant clinical findings and investigations. Results: Total 81 cases were studied, out of these 36 (44.45%) were found to be reactive lymphadenitis which was the most common finding followed bytubercular lymphadenitis 24 (29.63%). Out of 81 cases,6were diagnosed as Lymphoma. Highest incidence of cervical lymphadenopathy was found in patients of 9–14 years age group.Conclusion: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is easy, simple, safe, reliable and non–invasive procedure for diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy.
