Cytopathological Study of Lymph Node Lesions - A 2 Years Retrospective Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a well-established and popular diagnostic aid for patients presenting with lymphadenopathies. Frequent involvement of lymph nodes in regional and systemic diseases along with their easy accessibility makes FNAC the first line of investigation in evaluating lymphadenopathies. Lymph node enlargement occurs in a wide spectrum of diseases including reactive conditions, infections such as tuberculosis, fungal, and protozoal as well as primary lymphoid malignancies and secondary metastatic tumors. Most common etiology in our country is tuberculosis. FNAC is a highly acceptable, minimally invasive, cost-effective, and rapid investigation of choice that is feasible in our current scenario. Aims and Objectives: (1) To evaluate various etiologies in lymph node enlargement and (2) to assess the frequency of lymphadenopathy in different age groups and genders. Materials and Methods: A 2 years retrospective study was done from August 2015 to July 2017 at SVS Medical College and Hospital, Mahabubnagar, on 459 patients with lymph node enlargement in the department of pathology.
