Abstract

 Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a well known, reliable, inexpensive tool for diagnosing many palpable swellings. FNAC done to confirm metastatic deposits in lymph nodes has been studied thoroughly. FNAC not only confirms but also gives clue to the origin of primary tumor. Present study is undertaken to evaluate cytological features of metastatic deposits in any lymph nodes and to know the pattern of occurrence of various malignancies. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study is done in the department of Pathology, in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Previously diagnosed 135 cases of metastatic lymphadenopathy of patients attending various outpatient departments from the year 2013 to 2016, with history of malignancy or suspected metastasis to lymphnodes or cytologically diagnosed cases of malignant lymphadenopathy are selected for the study. Slides are retrieved from cytology section under department of Pathology. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Papanicolaou (PAP) stain and Leishman stained slides are examined for the cytological features of malignancy and also for the pattern and classification of various malignancies. Results obtained are tabulated and analysed.
