The present series includes 104 cases (36 males and 68 female) of lymph node swellings in the head and neck region in the mean age group of 30.6 years. The aspiration cytology was carried out as an outpatient department procedure and concomittant biopsy was performed in all the cases of this series. The overall diagnoitic accuracy rale of FNAC in the present histopathologically proved cases was found to be 92.3 percent. In 8 out of 104 cases (7.7 percent), the smears were unsatisfactory and therefore diagnosis could not be made by mere cytological examination.
本系列包括104例头颈部淋巴结肿大病例(男性36例,女性68例),平均年龄为30.6岁。穿刺细胞学检查作为门诊程序进行,本系列所有病例均进行了同步活检。在目前经组织病理学证实的病例中,细针穿刺抽吸活检(FNAC)的总体诊断准确率为92.3%。在104例病例中有8例(7.7%)涂片不满意,因此仅通过细胞学检查无法做出诊断。
