Background: Lymphadenopathy is a very common clinical manifestation of many diseases. It is defined as an abnormality in the size of character of lymph nodes, caused by the invasion or propagation of either inflammatory cells or neoplastic cells into the node. The study intends to find out systematically the various pathological conditions presenting with enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, also the various nodes of clinical presentations and behaviors of these conditional.Methods: The clinical material consists of all inpatients and outpatients presenting to department of General Surgery. The study was conducted during the period from January 2017 to June 2018. This study consisted of 50 consecutive cases and diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical and histopathological findings. Patients, in whom FNAC and/or biopsy of enlarged node could not be carried out, were excluded.Results: Out of 50 cases in the study, 76% were non-neoplastic. 44% of the cases were due to tuberculosis. Majority of the cases were in 3rd and 4th decade of age. After swelling in the neck, pain and fever were the most common presentation.Conclusions: In the present study, non-neoplastic accounted for 76% of cases, 44% turned out to be tuberculosis and 30% reactive lymphadenitis. Among the neoplastic lesions, malignant secondaries accounted for 16% while non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Hodgkin’s lymphoma accounted for 6% and 2% respectively. In this present study, fine needle aspiration cytology was found to be reliable and cheapest method of diagnosis without any significant morbidity and with good patient compliance.

Background: Lymphadenopathy refers to one or more lymph nodes that are abnormal in size, consistency or number. There are various causes for lymphadenopathy which range from benign conditions to malignant either primary or secondary from draining primary tumour. Lymphadenopathy can be localised to a single group or generalised.Methods: Prospective observational study was performed for the patients attending outpatient department of general surgery at Kamineni academy of medical sciences, LB nagar Hyderabad, Telangana with complaints of enlarged or swollen lymph nodes in the neck. This study included 46 cases. In cases where fine needle aspiration cytology was inconclusive and there was need for excision biopsy, only these cases were included in the study. After biopsy lymph node was sent for gross and microscopic examination for expert opinion from department of pathology.Results: The present study includes 46 patients in a period of two years from 01-8-2015 to 31-7-2017. Of these case tuberculosis lymphadenopathy (n=25,54.3%) was the most common aetiology followed by nonspecific chronic lymphadenopathy (n=16,34.7%) followed by some relatively rare cases and unusual presentation Schwannoma, pleomorphic adenoma, Kikuchi disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and secondaries from carcinoma tongue (n=1,2.1%).Conclusions: In the present prospective study tubercular lymphadenopathy was the most common cause for cervical lymphadenopathy followed by chronic nonspecific lymphadenopathy.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Peripheral lymphadenopathy is frequently due to a local or systemic benign infectious disease. However, it could be a manifestation of underlying malignancy. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) acting as a reliable diagnostic tool to find out the cause underlying the lymphadenopathy enables the clinician to plan appropriate management for each patient.The present study was undertaken to assess the utility of FNAC in evaluation of peripheral lymphadenopathy cases in different age groups and sex and to study the cytomorphological patterns in these cases.A retrospective and prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, Hind Institute of Medical Sciences over the duration of 2 years. A total of 331 lymph node FNA aspirates were studied. Aspirated material was routinely stained with Haematoxylin & Eosin and Papanicolauo stains. Ziehl Neelsen stain was used wherever required.Most of the patients were in the age group of ≤15 years (117/331). Cervical lymphnodes were the most commonly involved sites (222/331). The largest group of lesions belonged to the non-neoplastic category (227/331). Only 54/331 cases were in the neoplastic category. Amongst the non-neoplastic lesions, granulomatous lymphadenitis comprised the majority (128/277). Amongst the neoplastic lesions, 8 cases showed features of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL); where as 3 cases were of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL). Non-neoplastic lesions were more common in the younger age group (117/257); where as neoplastic lesions were more common in the older age group (27/54).FNAC is a reliable method of diagnosing the pathology underlying enlarged superficial lymph nodes; thus acting as a triage to distinguish the cases with a suspicion of significant disease. At the same time, it also provides material for ancillary studies especially in lymphoproliferative lesions.
