“…24 In certain disease subtypes, for instance, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the diagnostic yield of CNB is high because the distribution of lymphomatous cells is fairly uniform (our results demonstrated 96.8% of USCB were fully diagnostic). Tissue architecture is more difficult to assess in lesions which are only patchily affected by disease, or where diagnostic cells are sparse or unevenly distributed.…”

“…Tissue architecture is more difficult to assess in lesions which are only patchily affected by disease, or where diagnostic cells are sparse or unevenly distributed. 24 This consideration is particularly relevant in the diagnosis of HD, which is dependent on the identification of Reed-Sternberg cells. These can be scanty within an affected lesion, thus a small specimen can be mis-diagnosed.…”

Introduction: Complete lymph node necrosis is a rare condition. Excisional biopsy of infarcted lymph node could wrongly lead physicians to benign diagnoses such as Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, while malignant lymphoma progresses. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old man was referred with gradual enlargement of a left submandibular mass which had recently become painful. The patient had no dysphagia, odynophagia, dysphonia, dyspnea, coughing, nasal obstruction, tooth ache or epistaxis. Three masses were detected by physical examination and computed tomography. There were no signs of malignancy in fine needle aspiration and excisional biopsy. The patient was finally diagnosed by core needle biopsy under ultrasonography guidance and a second excisional biopsy. Conclusions:The core needle biopsy under ultrasonography guidance could help choosing the optimal lymph node among multiple necrotizing lymph nodes and would prevent more invasive procedures. We emphasize that physicians should keep a high clinical suspicion for lymphoma even if the initial excisional biopsy of an infarcted lymph node is negative.

“…Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can be a good first-line method for investigating the cases of cervical lymphadenopathy; it can distinguish reactive lymphoid hyperplasia from malignant lymphoma, is a reliable and cost-effective diagnostic procedure when compared with the gold standard (excisional biopsy)9 and can yield a very good performance. However, as pointed out by Kapoor et al ,10 the role of fine-needle aspiration procedures appears to be limited in making the histological diagnosis of Kimura disease, due to occasional wrong diagnoses through misinterpretation.…”

Kimura disease is a benign rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology. This disease is mainly endemic in Asia, although cases have also been reported in Europe and America. We describe a case in a 34-year-old Chinese man presenting with severe eosinophilia and multiple lymphadenopathy. Since our initial aim was to rule out the diagnosis of lymphoma, and given the limitations of our laboratory, we decided to perform an excision of one of the cervical lymph nodes. The histological diagnosis was consistent with Kimura disease. We review the epidemiology, the aetiology and clinical features of this entity.

Needle-Core Biopsy in the Pathologic Diagnosis of Malignant Lymphoma Showing High Reproducibility Among Pathologists

Abstract: Needle-core biopsy is an effective technique for the diagnosis of lymphoma and should be considered the first-line procedure for cases with suspicion for lymphoma.
