Diagnostic Utility of Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in Lymphadenopathy: A Study from a Rural Tertiary Care Centre in Faridabad, Haryana
Abstract: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a minimally invasive and cost-effective diagnostic tool for evaluating lymphadenopathy. This study examines 138 cases at a rural tertiary care centre in Faridabad, Haryana, analysing the cytomorphological spectrum of lymph node lesions. Tubercular lymphadenitis was the most common finding (47.10%), followed by reactive hyperplasia (34.78%). The study highlights FNAC?s utility in diagnosing both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions, particularly in resource-limited settings, reinforcing its role as a reliable first-line diagnostic modality.
