Abstract
Introduction: Aim of the Study: To study the spectrum of lesions in cervical lymph nodes onFine Needle Aspiration Cytology. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study done over a period of two and half yearsin the department of pathology at Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal, Telangana. A total of 330 patients with cervical lymphadenopathy were evaluated. The detailed clinical history was recorded before performing FNAC. Other relevant radiological investigations were also noted for correlation. Results: FNACs was done in 350 cases who presented with enlarged cervical lymph nodes. There were 20 inadequate aspirates which were excludedfrom the study. Age group ranged from1 to 70 years. Majority of the patients (33.3%) were in the age group 2130 years and male to female ratio was 2.3:1. Tuberculous lymphadenitis was the most common diagnosis.
