Background: FNAC is a well-established technique for pre-operative evaluation of masses. This study aims to highlight the relevance of FNAC and to draw attention to its prospects and challenges in the management of head and neck masses. Methods:A retrospective descriptive study conducted between December 2005 and November 2013 at the ENT and pathology departments of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Nigeria. Results:Total of 294 patients consisting of 113 males and 181 female with male: female ratio 1:1.6. Their ages ranged from 1-93 years (mean± SD of 38.25 ± 1.98) years. Age group 21 -40 years constituted the largest proportion 34.4%.Cervical mass constituted the largest proportion of 37.4% followed by thyroid mass 23.5%. Majority 35.2% were inflammatory/non specific lymphadenopathy followed by malignant masses 27.4%. Among the males, 67% were benign and 23.3% were malignant while among the females, 54% were benign and 39.2% were malignant. There were preponderance of inflammatory/benign masses among the younger age groups while malignant masses were spread among the young adults, middle age and older age groups (X2 = 28.535, p = 0.001). There is also no statistical significance in the distribution of head and neck masses between the two genders (X2 = 3.226, p = 0.353). Conclusion:FNAC is very relevant in the management of H&N masses; the prospects for its use are equally high in our center. The challenges associated with the use of FNAC in our environment at this time were also addressed.

“…Lymphadenopathy (abnormality in size, consistency or number of lymph nodes) occurs in response to foreign antigens or by invasion or propagation of either inflammatory or neoplastic cells into the node, depending upon the geographical conditions and socioeconomical set up (Darnal et al, 2005;Bhuyan et al, 2008;Ahmad et al, 2009). In developing countries, infective lymphadenopathy is quite common, mostly due to high prevalence of tuberculosis.…”

Background: Lymphadenopathy is a common presentation in both benign and malignant diseases which need to be diagnosed without delay. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) helps us diagnose a disease and follow its course, including the response to therapy. Aim: This study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of metastatic lymphadenopathy and the diagnostic utility of FNAC in our setting. Materials and Methods: This two-year prospective study included all the patients with metastatic lymphadenopathy, diagnosed with FNAC. Results: A total of 412 cases (male:female ratio, 1.3:1; age range, 3 to 90 years) were studied. Supraclavicular lymph nodes were involved most commonly (50.5%). The commonest metastatic tumor was squamous cell carcinoma in general (30.1%) and in males (37.6%), and infiltrating ductal carcinoma (25.3%) in females. Lung, with 64 (15.5%) cases followed by esophagus, 60 (14.6%) cases; breast, 49 (11.9%) cases; skin, 32 (7.8%) cases; and stomach, 25 (6.1%) cases were the most common primary sites of malignancy. In 69 patients, excision biopsy was performed. Histopathological findings correlated well with that of cytology in all these cases. Conclusions: FNAC is an important tool in the diagnostic work up of metastatic lymphadenopathy, which in the hands of an experienced and skilful cytopathologist can avoid the need for excision biopsy.

“…Lymphadenopathy is a clinical manifestation of local and systemic diseases which serves as an excellent clue to the underlying diseases process. [5] In majority of patients, FNAC of lymph nodes serves as an excellent and rapid first line investigation modality to establish the nature of lesion. We conducted a retrospective study in pathology department of SRMS-IMS over a period of one year from January 2013 to December 2013 and 297 patients were selected who presented with palpable, localized or generalized lymphadenopathy.…”
