Cytomorphology of lymphadenopathy on fine needle aspiration cytology
A retrospective study in a tertiary health center in Tribal District of Odisha
Keywords:
FNAC, lymphadenopathy, Tubercular lymphadenitis, reactive lymphadenitis, metastatic lesionsAbstract
Introduction: FNAC is widely accepted the most accurate sensitive, specific, cost-effective minimally invasive OPD technique to establish the basic diagnostic information not only to relieve the anxiety of the patients but also to provide materials for microbial culture, and decrease unnecessary surgery from the visibly accessible superficial masses. It also distinguishes a benign from a malignant entity that can obtain tissue for immuno-phenotyping & molecular studies and obtain cellular & genetic material for storage also useful for staging and follow up including response to treatment in patients with known malignancies. Our study was conducted on 796 Outpatients including all age groups & sexes presenting with palpable enlarged lymph nodes not only for early diagnosis & treatment but also to reveal the burden of various categories of diseases in tribal areas where our institution is situated. Material & methods: FNAC was performed under aseptic precaution using a 22 to 24Gauge needle attached to a 20 CC syringe (disposable). The aspirated material after smearing was treated with 95% ethyl alcohol for fixation & stained with H& E and Papanicolaou stain & air-dried smears are stained with Leishman stain.
