ABSTRACT
Four hundred and forty-four patients with cervical lymphadenopathies without any consideration for age and sex were subjected to fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology. The results were compared with those of histological sections. In tuberculous lymphadenitis, pyogenic lymphadenitis, Hodgkin's disease and leukaemic infiltration of lymph nodes 100% correct diagnosis was made; it was 98.4% in metastatic carcinoma, 97% in non-specific lymphadenitis and 92.3% in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. An overall 96.2% correct diagnosis was made by fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology technique.
