ABSTRACT
Lymph node infarction is rare and can occur in either nonneoplastic or neoplastic conditions. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of infarction preceding lymphoma has not been described earlier. A 26-year-old male, was referred to the cytology laboratory for FNAC of bilateral axillary lymph nodes. FNA smears showed uniform looking ghost cells. There were no viable cells. A biopsy was advised which also showed extensive coagulative necrosis. Five weeks later, right cervical lymph nodes also appeared and FNA smears showed discrete monomorphic population of immature lymphoid cells. A cytologic diagnosis of infarction in a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) was made and subsequently confirmed by histopathologic examination. Our case indicates that such cases should be followed up closely and repeated aspirations should be done to prevent a delayed diagnosis of lymphoma.
