Abstract
:
Two hundred and sixty-two (262) patients underwent cervical lymph node biopsies at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) over a seven-year period. Of those, 145 (55.3%) patients had tuberculosis, 59 (22.5%) had malignancy, 50 (19%) had reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, 6 (2.3%) patients had chronic non-caseating granulomatous inflammation, and 1 (0.4%) patient had acute suppurative lymphadenitis. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) was performed in 23 (8.7%) patients only, which showed a positive correlation (78%) with the results of open biopsy. It is concluded that tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis is the most common cause of isolated cervical lymphadenopathy at KAUH and FNAB was underutilized, although it has a significant positive correlation of 78% with open biopsy.
