“…of cases was metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, followed by duct carcinoma breast in present study. Our findings correlated with other studies of Wilkinson et al, Pandav AB et al and mandakini et al 7,9,10 The incidence of metastasis was more in males (73.1%) as compared to females (26.8%), with male to female ratio 2.6:1. Male preponderance was noted in our study, which correlates with other studies of Khajuria et al and Pandav AB et al 8,9 This may be because of decreased incidence of various addictions in females.…”

Background: FNAC is rapidly emerging as a useful tool in the diagnosis of metastatic lesion of lymph nodes. FNAC not only confirms or excludes metastasis in a case of a known primary malignancy but, also, in most cases helps to detect occult primary malignancy. Aim of present study was to determine the frequency of metastatic lesions of lymph nodes.Methods: This retrospective study was done of all metastatic lymph node lesions reported on FNAC, in the department of pathology, NSCB medical college, Jabalpur from January 2014 to December 2014 (One Year).Results: Total cases of 400 lymph node aspiration were done, of which 120 cases were clinically suspicious of metastasis. Cytology results were positive for metastasis in 97 cases (80.8%). The most common site of aspiration was cervical lymph nodes (75.2%). Maximum number of cases of metastasis were in 51-60 years age group with male predominance (male:female 2.6:1). The most common metastasis was squamous cell carcinoma seen in 74 cases (76.2%), followed by metastatic mammary carcinoma (10.3%), remaining were adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, malignant melanoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma.Conclusions: FNAC is a rapid, safe and cost-effective technique. It gives early and accurate results with minimal invasion and reduces the need for surgical biopsies, thus saves cost and time to reach the final diagnosis. It is therefore concluded that FNAC is a useful tool in diagnosing metastatic lesions of lymph nodes with a good certainty.

“…Lymph node aspirates in 28 cases (10.4%) showed metastatic deposits. This is in correlation with the studies by Patel et al, Ghartimagar et al and Bhavani et al where metastatic deposits were seen in 27.06%, 18% cases and 9.5% respectively [27,28,29]. Most of the metastatic deposits were from squamous cell carcinoma arising commonly in the tongue, alveolus, buccal mucosa, palate and from lung followed by adenocarcinoma.…”

Introduction: Lymph nodes are a site for organized collections of lympho-reticular tissue and are pink gray bean shaped encapsulated organs. Lymphadenopathy is one of the most common clinical presentations of patients attending the outpatient department. Lymph nodes are among the commonly aspirated organs for diagnostic purposes. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a clinical technique used to obtain cells, tissues and/or fluid through a thin needle attached with disposable syringe for the purpose of diagnosis of masses. Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study is to find out the frequency of lymphadenopathy, etiological factors and cyto-morphologial features in different age groups 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: The present study was carried out in Department of Pathology at GMERS Medical College, Sola-Ahmedabad, Gujarat a Tertiary Care Centre. A total of 268 patients of all age groups underwent FNAC of enlarged lymph nodes during this study period. Results: Tuberculous lymphadenitis was recorded as the most common presentation of lymphadenopathy in the cervical region. Male to female ratio is 1:1.13. Most common causes of lymphadenopathy in 11-40 years age group was tubercular lymphadenitis and metastatic carcinoma in patients >50 years of age. Conclusion: FNAC of lymph nodes is an excellent first line investigation to determine the nature of lesion. It is quick, safe, minimally invasive, and reliable and is readily accepted by the patient.

BACKGROUND Fine needle aspiration cytology has replaced open biopsy in majority of the palpable lesions. Differentiation between benign and malignant lesions is possible with this procedure with low cost, but has certain limitations. In the present study, the limitations of cytodiagnosis in various palpable lesions in the body is analysed.The aim of the study was to know the prevalence of various lesions which could be diagnosed on cytology, its limitations and need for histopathological examination. MATERIALS AND METHODSA prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Pathology at tertiary care centre in rural area. 1200 cases attending for fine needle aspiration for a period of 2 years from January 2014 to December 2015 was taken up for the study. After obtaining informed consent from the patients, fine needle aspiration was performed using a 22 -24 gauge needle with 10 mL syringe and long lumbar puncture needle for guided aspirations. Smears were fixed in 95% isopropyl alcohol and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. Air dried smears were stained with May-Grunwald stain and special stains were done wherever necessary. The tissue was subjected for histopathological examination wherever indicated and results tabulated. Overall diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of cytology as a diagnostic procedure was calculated. RESULTSThe overall accuracy of diagnosing granulomatous lymphadenitis and lymphoproliferative disorders on cytology was 65.71%. The overall accuracy of diagnosing fibrocystic disease of breast proliferative type was 80% and ductal carcinoma of breast was 100% on cytology. The overall accuracy of diagnosing follicular adenoma of thyroid was 36.20% and malignancy was 100% on cytology. The overall accuracy of diagnosing both benign and malignant lesions of salivary gland was 100% on cytology. The overall accuracy of diagnosing soft tissue tumours was 88.67% on cytology. In lesions of bone, skin and ultrasonographic-guided lesions of abdomen, the overall accuracy was 100%. On Pap smears, the overall accuracy was 84.48%. CONCLUSIONIn cases of granulomatous lymphadenitis without significant necrosis and negative AFB, fibrocystic disease of breast, follicular adenoma of thyroid, vascular tumours, soft tissue tumours with nuclear atypia and cases of atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance and high-grade intraepithelial lesions on Pap smears need histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis.
