Abstract
Background- The study was conducted to evaluate the histopathological profile of lymphadenopathy and assess its etiology. Method- Observational case series study was conducted among 100 consecutive patients based on clinical examination and constructed questionnaire. Fine needle aspiration cytology and lymph node excision biopsy was performed in all patients to evaluate the causes of lymphadenopathy.Data was Statistically analyzed using SPSS software. Results- The results of present study showed that 70% of the study population had cervical lymphadenopathy, while 16% of the study group had inguinal lymphadenopathy and the remaining 14% developed axillary lymphadenopathy. Tuberculosis was the most common cause of lymphadenopathy observed in 47% of participants. 26% of participants were diagnosed to have malignancy in the current study which predominantly revealed lymphadenopathy secondary to metastasis. Conclusion-The present study showed a high incidence of tuberculosis and occult malignancy in histopatholgically confirmed lymph node specimens. Thus histopathological examination should be the foremost diagnostic tool to evaluate any lymphadenopathy.
