Abstract
Cervical lymphadenopathy is a clinical nding and may be a sign of an indolent inammation, infection
or a malignant disorder. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of lymph node has become an integral part of
the initial diagnosis and management of patients with lymphadenopathy due to easy availability of results, simplicity and
minimal trauma with less complications. In some cases, reactive lymphadenopathy can be discerned on clinical grounds , and
may require no specic therapy. The objective of this study is to correlate the ndings of FNAC to biopsy in all cervical
lymphadenopathies.
