Abstract

Cervical lymphadenopathy is one of the most common clinical presentations with a rising trend of non-neoplastic lymphadenopathies. This study aims at describing our experience in a tertiary care centre of South India for a period of 2 years. Fine needle aspiration cytology is the investigation of choice and the most common investigating tool used for diagnosis. However, owing to its diagnostic restrictions,excision biopsy with histopathological study remains the gold standard diagnostic tool in the evaluation of cervical lymphadenopathy.
