The value of the cytologic diagnosis by aspiration needle biopsy is analysed in a series of 1756 adenopathies, verified by histological examination (1311 malignant nodes and 445 inflammatory or normal lymph nodes). The result is that a large number of lymph node tumours, either primary or secondary, are identified by the cytologic examination (from 77% to 91% of the cases according to the explored zone). Furthermore the virtually non existent percentage of false positive results (3% of the cases) proves the great accuracy of this method in the diagnosis of malignancy. In contrast, the diagnosis of benign nature must never be stated without biopsy (2% to 4% of the cases are erroneous by negative according to the explored zone). Indeed, even if benign cells are obtained, nothing allows to eliminate a malignant tumour or a limited inflammatory zone, not reached by the needle.
对1756例经组织学检查证实的腺病（1311例恶性淋巴结和445例炎性或正常淋巴结）进行细针穿刺活检细胞学诊断价值分析。结果显示，大量原发性或继发性淋巴结肿瘤可通过细胞学检查得以识别（根据探查区域，病例比例为77%至91%）。此外，假阳性结果的比例几乎不存在（3%的病例），证明了该方法在恶性肿瘤诊断中的高度准确性。相比之下，未经活检绝不能判定为良性（根据探查区域，2%至4%的病例阴性诊断错误）。实际上，即便获取了良性细胞，也无法排除恶性肿瘤或针未触及的局限性炎症区域。
