Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is most popular diagnostic aid in patients with lymphadenopathy. This paper proves it to be highly sensitive. Materials and Methods: The present study was undertaken to study non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of enlarged lymph nodes by FNAC in 300 patients who presented with lymphadenopathy. Done at ESIC Modal Hospital, Gurgaon during a period of two years from January 2014 to December 2015. Results: In the present study, 300 cases of lymph node enlargement were recorded from first decade to ninth decade of life. Majority of patients belonged to age group of 21-30 years. Males were more affected with M: F ratio of 1.8:1. Out of 300, total of 269 cases (89.67% ) were diagnosed as benign lesions and 17 cases ( 5.67% ) were diagnosed as malignant lesions. Maximum number of patients were observed in 2nd and 3rd decade of life in benign group and 5th decade of life in the malignant group. Maximum number of cervical lymphadenopathy were belonged to tubercular lymphadenitis. Conclusion: FNAC proved to be a safe, inexpensive, repeatable and rapid procedure in which no hospitalization or anaesthesia is required.
