Abstract
Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is most popular diagnostic aid in patients with lymphadenopathy. This paper proves it to be highly sensitive. Materials and Methods: The present study was undertaken to study non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of enlarged lymph nodes by FNAC in 300 patients who presented with lymphadenopathy. Done at ESIC Modal Hospital, Gurgaon during a period of two years from January 2014 to December 2015. Results: In the present study, 300 cases of lymph node enlargement were recorded from first decade to ninth decade of life. Majority of patients belonged to age group of 21-30 years. Males were more affected with M: F ratio of 1.8:1. Out of 300, total of 269 cases (89.67% ) were diagnosed as benign lesions and 17 cases ( 5.67% ) were diagnosed as malignant lesions. Maximum number of patients were observed in 2nd and 3rd decade of life in benign group and 5th decade of life in the malignant group.
