Fine needle aspiration biopsy is an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation and triage of patients with lymphadenopathy. It offers a simple and inexpensive test for diagnosis of reactive hyperplasia, infections, granulomatous lymphadenopathies, and metastatic diseases. Although previously regarded as limited in its use for diagnosing primary lymphoid malignancies, fine needle aspiration in combination with immunophenotypic and genotype studies is gaining respect in providing accurate diagnosis of lymphoma for primary treatment in selected patients.
细针穿刺活检是评估和分类淋巴结病患者的重要诊断工具。它为诊断反应性增生、感染、肉芽肿性淋巴结病和转移性疾病提供了一种简单且经济的检测方法。尽管细针穿刺活检以前被认为在诊断原发性淋巴恶性肿瘤方面用途有限，但结合免疫表型和基因分型研究的细针穿刺活检在为特定患者的原发性淋巴瘤提供准确诊断以进行初始治疗方面正逐渐受到重视。
