Summary
Metastatic malignancy is a more common etiology of peripheral lymphadenopathy, especially when it occurs after the age of 40 years. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of lymph nodes with metastatic deposits performed in Pathology department, SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad were included in the study. Conclusion: FNAC is an effective diagnostic modality, useful in early diagnoses of metastatic lymphadenopathy. It is a simple OPD procedure useful in screening as well as follow-up of metastatic lymphnode enlargement. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is efficient in diagnosing the etiology of enlarged lymph nodes in most of the circumstances. In the USA, in 1921 Gulhrie described a method of using aspirated material to diagnose various disease causing cervical lymph node enlargement, which was reported to be the earliest use of FNA.
