Role of fine needle aspiration cytology in the preliminary diagnosis of Hodgkin’s disease
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
This study includes eighteen cases of Hodgkin’s Disease (HD) diagnosed on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in the Department of Pathology, in two institutions, over a 3 year period. There were 14 (76%) male and 4 (24%) female patients. The patients ranged in age from 12 to 62 years (mean = 39 years). Sixteen cases presented with localised/generalised lymphadenopathy (cervical =10, axillary = 4, inguinal = 2), and one case presented with a retroperitoneal mass and one with a mediastinal mass. Histopathological confirmation was done in eight out of the eleven newly diagnosed cases. The other three cases were diagnosed on cytology itself. There were two cases of recurrent HD in which adequate diagnostic material was obtained on FNAC, thus obviating the need for histopathology. Cytology offers a rapid and accurate approach for the initial recognition as well as the diagnosis of recurrent HD.
