ABSTRACT
Background & Objectives: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a reliable as well as an inexpensive diagnostic method. It is suitable for the developing countries like India for the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy at any approachable site. FNAC not only con?rms the presence of metastatic disease, but also in most cases gives the clue regarding the origin of the primary tumor. The aim of the study was to ?nd out the cytological diagnosis of metastatic lymph node lesions. Methods: A study was done on all metastatic lymph node lesions reported in Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, and Surat from January 2014 to December 2014. Results: In this study 555 cases of lymphadenopathy were analyzed of which 183 (32.9%) cases show evidence of malignant disease. Of these 183 cases 94.5% were metastatic malignancy and 5.5% were lymphomas. Male:Female ratio of 4:1 and age range of 10 yrs to 90 yrs. Cervical group of lymph node 158 (90.8% cases) was most commonly involved. The most common malignancy was metastatic squamous cell carcinoma seen in 128 cases (73.9%). Conclusion: FNAC of a lymph node is a very useful, simple and easy tool for diagnosis of metastatic malignancies and in cases of lymphoma it is helpful to guide for further work up.
