Abstract :
Introduction: Lymphadenopathy is one of the commonest presentations of
patients in out patient department of any hospital . It is a common manifestation of a large
variety of disorders, both benign and malignant. Histopathological examination of the lymph
node biopsies is a gold standard test to confirm the diagnosis and also for detailed subtyping
of lymphomas. We designed this study in our population for histopathological evaluation of
lymph nodes that might be helpful for clinical management of these lesions.
Method: The present study was a prospective type of study. Total 89 numbers of patients
from September 2016 till March 2017 were recruited. All excised lymph node specimens
received in the Department of Pathology Gauhati Medical college and hospital constituted
the study material. The specimens were subjected to detailed histopathological examination.
In each case, pathological reactionpattern was studied carefully and documented.
Results: Out of total 89 cases, 33 cases were of granulomatous lymphadenitis,28 cases were
of non specific reactive hyperplasia, 4 cases were hodgkins lymphoma, 8 cases were non
hodgekins lymphoma , 13 cases were of metastatic lymph node and 1 each case of kikuchi
fujimoto’s disease ,castleman disease and rosai dorfman disease. Cervical lymph nodes were
most commonly biopsied group of lymph nodes in our study.
Conclusion: In present study the most common cause of lymph node biopsy was
granulomatous lymphadentits followed by nonspecific reactive hyperplasia. Among
neoplastic lesions metastatic lymph node disease accounted for maximum number of cases.
