Abstract

30Nov 2016 HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF NON NEOPLASTIC LESIONS OF CERVICAL LYMPH NODES. Inamdar A. A. , Patil R. S. , Verma A , Ghatge R M , Gupta S and Sujata N.

Highlights

Non neoplastic region is essential for making a confident diagnosis or suspecting a disease.Though fine needle aspiration cytology is commonly used to establish the etiological diagnosis, excision biopsy and histopathology of the lymph node remains the “gold standard” for diagnosis of lymphadenopathy
The present study focuses on most common nonneoplastic lesions of cervical lymph nodes and their histopathological diagnosis
Lymphadenopathy is defined as an abnormality in the size or character of lymph node caused by a vast array of disease processes, whose broad categories are Malignancies, Infections, Autoimmune disorders, Miscellaneous and unusual conditions, and Iatrogenic causes[1].Head and neck lymphadenopathy represents 55% of all lymphadenopathies

The present study focuses on most common nonneoplastic lesions of cervical lymph nodes and their histopathological diagnosis. Though fine needle aspiration cytology is commonly used to establish the etiological diagnosis, excision biopsy and histopathology of the lymph node remains the “gold standard” for diagnosis of lymphadenopathy[4].
