Abstract :
AIM: To characterize various lymph node lesions on fine needle aspiration cytology along with their age and gender distribution in patients presenting with lymphadenopathies . METHOD– Hospital based cross–sectional study conducted over a period of sixteen months. FNAC of 175 patients presenting with lymphadenopathy were performed .Smears prepared, stained and studied. RESULTS– Males commonly involved than females with M: F ratio of 1.46:1. Age of patients ranged from 6 months to 90 years. Cervical region (71.42%) was the most common site of lymphadenopathy. Tubercular lymphadenitis (30.81%) was overall the most common cause of lymphadenopathy. Benign lesions (77.32%) were more common than neoplastic (22.67%). Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common metastatic lesion. CONCLUSIONRole of FNAC in screening lymphoid pathology is invaluable as it is a simple procedure, cost effective with prompt diagnosis. It helps differentiating non–neoplastic processes from neoplastic diseases, and guides the physicians in planning of management.
