Cytological Study of Cervical Lymph Nodes with Clinico-Radiological Correlation in Adults

Objective: The spectrum of lesions diagnosed by fine needleaspiration cytology with routine & special stains and it’scorrelation with radiological findings.Materials & Methods: The study is performed on a total ofhundred (100) patients over duration from February 2017 toSeptember 2018. The data was collected in cytopathologysection of TMMC & RC from the patients referred from OPDsor was admitted through the period of study.Results: Among 100 FNAC cases, 36(36%) had NecrotizingGranulomatous Lymphadenitis, 23(23%) had GranulomatousLymphadenitis, 20(20%) had Reactive Lymphadenopathy, 6%had suppurative lymphadenitis & 2% had Necrotic Lymphnode, 10(10%) had Metastatic Squamous cell carcinoma,2(2%) had Hodgkin Lymphoma, 1(1%) had Non – HodgkinLymphoma.Conclusion: Our study concluded that FNAC is a minimallyinvasive, cost effective and rapid diagnostic tool. When used inconjunction with radiology for the diagnosis oflymphadenopathy FNAC can be a cost effective method
