Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Lymphadenopathy of neck region are the most frequently encountered complaints in patients referred for fine needle aspiration cytology. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a simple and effective tool for the assessment and diagnosis of cervical metastatic lymph node enlargement. In our study, conducted over a period of 4 months, we included 30 patients with metastatic deposits from various primaries, amongst which Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequently encountered metastasis. FNAC may be recommended as a first line investigation for the evaluation of cervical neck node enlargement.
