ABSTRACT
A study of one hundred and five patients of lymphadenopathy was carried out to determine the diagnostic role of Fine needle aspiration cytology [FNA] and to see the pattern of diseases with which patients presented. The commonest lesion encountered was tuberculosis [55.238%] followed by reactive hyperplasia [28.571%], malignant lymphoma [7.169%] and metastatic carcinoma [5.714%]. Biopsy results were compared with cytological findings which revealed an accuracy of 95%. As the sensitivity of FNAC in cases of tuberculosis and malignancy is 100% and specificity 98% in the present study, it is recommended that this highly useful technique should be routinely adopted
