Abstract

Background: Lesions of Lymph Nodes are very common and important manifestations of many systemic diseases. Especially, in developing country like India, most of the lesions are of infectious etiology. FNAC can be used as a triage to distinguish between various cases of lymphadenopathies, as it is a simple and economical procedure. Materials & Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of Pathology, in the newly established Government Medical College and Hospital, Rajamahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India. A total of 93 patients presenting with complaint of enlarged lymph nodes were subjected to FNAC procedure after taking history and doing general and local examinations. Smears were prepared, stained and Cytological Diagnosis was made. Results: Most of the patients presenting with lymphdenopathy were in age group of 11-20 years. The most common lesion diagnosed was Reactive Lymphadenitis, followed by Tuberculous Lymphadenitis. Malignancies formed 7.53% of all cases. Conclusion: FNAC is a rapid & economic technique to diagnose the etiology of various types of Lymphadenopathies and also to classify the lesions as Non Neoplastic and Neoplastic. It also reduces the need for excision biopsy in most cases of Lymphedenopathies as diagnosis can easily be done by Cytomorphological examination.
