MATERIALS AND METHODS The study includes 250 cases undergoing FNAC for cervical lymphadenopathy over a period of 18 months and diagnosing various conditions based on cytological features of the aspirates. Also, correlation is done of various diagnoses with age and gender of cases. RESULTS Study results show that the most commonly affected age group to be 31 to 40 years with male predominance. Most common cytological diagnosis was reactive lymphadenitis with most common malignant cause of cervical lymphadenopathy being metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
