Abstract :

Aims: Lymphadenopathy is a common clinical problem and biopsies undertaken to determine the cause of nodal enlargement may be neoplastic or non neoplastic. The causes of neoplastic are mainly lymphohematogenous malignancies and metastases while that of non–neoplastic lymphadenopathy are varied.This study was undertaken to determine the histopathological spectrum of lymphadenectomies. Materials and Methods: The present study is the Retrospective study, wherein 263 cases of histologically diagnosed peripheral lymph node biopsies in the Department of Pathology, madras medical college, Chennai from jan 2015 to dec 2016 were reviewed. Surgical resection specimens with lymphnode dissection were excluded from the study. Results: Out of total 263 cases, NonNeoplastic lesions were more common comprising 54.4% (143 cases) which included 30.8% of granuloamatous lesion, 21% (55 cases) reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, and 2.6% (7 cases) of kimura disease .Neoplastic lesions were comprising 45.6% (120 cases) and included 15.6% (41 cases)of non–Hodgkin lymphoma, 11% (29 cases) of Hodgkin lymphoma and 19% (50 cases) of metastatic lesions. Conclusion: In present study the most common cause of lymph node biopsy was tuberculous lymphadenitis followed by Non specific reactive hyperplasia. Among neoplastic lesions lymphoma accounted for maximum number of cases.
