“…Male to female ratio studied by Mishra S.D.et al (1972) and Leon Van de School et al (2001) was 1.2:1 which is comparable to the present study [2,3]. Commonest site of lymphnode enlargement was posterior triangle of neck in 50% of the cases which is comparable to that studied by Knight P.J et al in 1982 (47.25%) [4].122 cases (46.93%) were found to be tuberculous lymphadenitis which are in accordance with the study conducted by Narang R.K. et al in 1990 (50%) [5].…”

“…A citologia aspirativa por agulha fina (CAAF) é uma modalidade diagnóstica de fácil realização, rápida, econômica e menos invasiva para avaliar linfadenite 9,10 . O diagnóstico de tuberculose nos linfonodos pode ser estabelecido pela demonstração de bacilos álcool-ácido resistentes (BAAR) em esfregaços de CAAF com coloração de Ziehl-Neelsen ou corante auramina-rodamina, cultura micobacteriana ou por amplificação de DNA bacteriano por reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) 9 .…”

ResumoObjetivo: Estudar o perfil clínico-patológico de crianças indianas com linfadenopatia cervical e o papel da citologia aspirativa por agulha fina com ênfase especial na tuberculose como causa. Resultados: A hiperplasia reativa foi o tipo mais comum de linfadenite, seguida da granulomatosa. Os linfonodos do triângulo posterior unilateral foram o grupo afetado com maior freqüência no grupo de linfadenopatia cervical tuberculosa. A aspiração por agulha fina, seguida da coloração de Ziehl-Neelsen, histopatologia e cultura em associação, obteve sucesso em realizar o diagnóstico em 85,7% dos casos de etiologia tuberculosa. Métodos Conclusões:A aspiração por agulha fina é uma ferramenta diagnóstica valiosa no tratamento de crianças com apresentação clínica de linfonodos cervicais aumentados. A técnica reduz a necessidade de procedimentos mais invasivos e dispendiosos, principalmente em países em desenvolvimento.Cultura e histopatologia, entretanto, devem ser consideradas em casos nos quais a citologia aspirativa por agulha fina não é diagnóstica.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2008;84(5):449-454: Linfadenopatia cervical, citologia aspirativa por agulha fina, crianças. AbstractObjective: To study the clinicopathological profile of children from India with cervical lymphadenopathy and the role of fine-needle aspiration cytology with special emphasis on tuberculosis as a cause. Methods:A total of 89 children in the age group of 10 months to 12 years, presenting to our hospital from April 2004 to March 2005, were included. All the patients underwent thorough clinical and investigational assessment vis-à-vis cervical lymphadenopathy. Outcome measurements included clinical status and ability of conventional tests to categorize different types of lymphadenopathy and their utility in diagnosing tubercular lymphadenitis. Interobserver variability was analyzed measuring kappa test and was found to be in agreement. Results:Reactive hyperplasia was the most common type of lymphadenitis, followed by granulomatous involvement. Unilateral posterior triangle lymph nodes were the most commonly affected in the tubercular cervical lymphadenopathy group. Fine-needle aspiration followed by Ziehl-Neelsen staining, histopathology and culture in combination were able to perform the diagnosis in 85.7% of cases affected with tubercular etiology. Conclusions:Fine-needle aspiration is a valuable diagnostic tool in the management of children with the clinical presentation of enlarged cervical lymph nodes. The technique reduces the need for more invasive and costly procedures, especially in a Third World country. Culture and histopathology, however, should be considered in cases where repeated fine-needle aspiration cytology is non-diagnostic.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2008;84(5):449-454: Cervical lymphadenopathy, fine-needle aspiration cytology, children.

“…Persistent or suspicious lymphadenopathy is the most common neck mass encountered in children and the common indication for FNAC. 6,8,10 Van de Schoot et al in is study found that FNAC is a useful initial diagnostic tool in children with persistent or suspicious peripheral lymphadenopathy to distinguish between benign and malignant disease 11 . Reactive lymphadenitis has to be differentiated from tuberculosis and lymphoma in developing country FNAC is usually done using a 22-25 gauge needle fitted to a 10 millilitre (ml) or a 20 ml disposable syringe.…”

<p>Fine needle aspiration biopsy has become an important first line of investigation in palpable neck masses. It is simple, sensitive, inexpensive and safe investigation. Minor complications include pain, rashes and irritation at the site of aspiration. Life threatening complication occurs rarely. This is a report of child who presented with internal carotid artery injury with a massive hematoma causing respiratory distress following Fine needle aspiration. The child underwent neck exploration with evacuation of hematoma. Though life threatening complications post Fine needle aspiration are rare, this case highlights the precautions to be taken while performing fine needle aspiration in deep seated neck mass. </p>
