Cytological Evaluation of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Lymph Node Lesions
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Lymphadenopathy is an abnormal increase in size and /or altered consistency of lymph nodes. Tuberculosis is the commonest cause of lymphadenopathy in developing countries like India and should be considered in every case of granulomatous lymphadenopathy unless proved otherwise. The use of FNAC in the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy has become an acceptable and widely practiced minimally invasive technique which is simple, safe, rapid, relatively pain free & highly cost effective as well as accurate. The present study has been taken up to study the utility of FNAC in the lesions of lymph nodes and to study the different cytomorphological patterns associated with various lymphadenopathies in H and E stained smears. The diagnosis were compared with available histopathology, thus verifying the accuracy of FNAC in detecting lymph node lesions.
