Abstract
Lymphadenopathy is a common clinical presentation of patients attending outdoor patient departments. The etiology varies with a wide spectrum ranging from inammatory causes on one end to malignant on the other. In the present study, cytological and relevant histopathological diagnoses were done in 200 cases received in Department of Pathology. The present study aimed to nd out the percentage of various lesions of lymph node and their prevalence according to age group and sex of patients. It also correlated the histo-cytodiagnosis in cases where both histology and cytology were available and compared the results of present study with similar other studies. It included 200 cases of lymphadenopathies. The cases were selected randomly. Lymph nodes included were of neck region, axilla, groin, from the extremities and the internal . Apart from haematoxylin and eosin (H & E) stain, special stains like Ziehl–Neelsen stain and giemsa stain were done wherever needed. Out of 200 cases, 93 (46.5%) cases were of reactive hyperplasia. Females were affected more commonly than males. Tuberculosis occurred more in younger patients whereas metastases were more common in older age group. Axillary lymph node was the most common lymph node involved. Histopathology gave accurate and conrmatory results than cytology. Lymph node evaluation is an integral part of patient management
