“…In this study, maximum number of cases recorded in age group of 20-29 years and slight male preponderance with male: female ratio of 1.1:1. This is in accordance with various other studies with similar findings [3,5,9,11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. While, the study done by Sharma et al [12], Sharma et al [21] and Duraiswami et al [22] showed that females were affected more commonly than males with male: female ratio of 1:1.13, 0.87:1 and 1:1.6 respectively.…”

“…The cytomorphological pattern in tuberculosis is varied and divided into three patterns (Table 4). First was epithelioid granulomas without necrosis (18.9%) in present study followed by caseatingepithelioid cell granulomas (46.5%) and AFB positivity was maximum with necrosis without epithelioid granulomas pattern (34.5%) which correlated with findings of other authors [9,15,18].…”

“…Reactive hyperplasia is a common form of lymphadenitis due to a variety of causes ranging from bacterial, viral, fungal or nonspecific etiology. These findings were in accordance with other studies [11][12][13][14][15]18,21,23] however some studies found metastatic lymphadenitis as a second most common cytological diagnosis [11,13]. It was may be due to different study population, genetic factors, environmental factors and habitual factors like smoking and tobacco consumption.…”

“…In this study, we observed non-neoplastic lesions like tuberculous lymphadenitis, reactive lymphadenitis, acute suppurative lymphadenitis, granulomatous lymphadenitis, chronic non specific lymphadenitis and necrotizing lymphadenitis to neoplastic lesions like metastatic lymphadenitis and non Hodgkin's lymphoma which were in accordance with majority of studies ( Table 5) Tuberculous lymphadenitis was the most common lesion and was reported in 127/250 cases (50.8%) which was correlated with the other studies [11][12][13][14][15]18,21,23]. The high rate is due to low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, incomplete treatment and resistance to the treatment.…”

Introduction: Lymph node enlargement is frequent presentation in all age groups with a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from infections to malignancy. Therefore, management of cases depends on lymph node pathology, which can be studied by collecting material through fine needle aspiration method that can be used as an outpatient procedure. Objectives: The study was undertaken to assess the cytomorphological features and incidence of various lymph node diseases on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and to analyze the utility and diagnostic importance of FNAC in lymph node diseases. Materials and Methods: In the study, total of 250 patients were selected who had presented with lymph node enlargement at Department of Pathology in our Tertiary Care Centre. Results: In this series of FNAC, cervical lymph nodes were involved in majority of 171 (68.4%) cases. The age of patients ranged from 6 months to 92 years with slight male preponderance. Tubercular lymphadenitis comprised the majority (50.8%) followed by reactive lymphoid lesions (20.8%), metastatic malignancies and acute suppurative lymphadenitis (8.8%) each, granulomatous lymphadenitis (8.4%), chronic nonspecific lymphadenitis (1.2%), necrotizing lymphadenitis (0.8%) and lymphoma (0.4%). Conclusion: FNAC is a simple, safe, reliable, inexpensive and the most diagnostic tool in early detection of lymph node lesions.

Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple diagnostic tool to diagnose causes of lymphadenopathy. The cytologic patterns of lymph node fine needle aspirations (FNAs) show signs of a wide variation in different diseases. In the present study, we study the cytologic patterns of lymph node sequence of different age groups. Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, GSVM Medical College, Kanpur. The total number of cases 1681 with lymphadenopathy was taken for this study. Routine investigations, which included complete blood counts, biochemical tests, X-Ray chest (PA View), Ultrasound/ CT scan (If indicated). FNAC was done and the slides were stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin stain, Giemsa stain and Ziehl-Neelsen stain (if indicated). Results: In the present study, the commonest site of involvement was the cervical lymph node 1196 (71.15%). Overall benign lesions were 1575 (93.69%) and malignant lesions 106 (6.31%). In benign lesions, Tubercular lymphadenitis was the most frequently encountered lesion 934 (55.56%) followed by reactive hyperplasia 310 (18.44%). FNAC is a simple procedure and no hospitalization or anaesthesia is required. Conclusion: FNAC is a safe, inexpensive repeatable and rapid procedure in which no anaesthesia is required. FNAC is useful as an outdoor diagnostic procedure because of early diagnosis in comparison to histopathological diagnosis.
