Histopathological Examination of Non-Neoplastic Anomalies in Cervical Lymphatic Tissues

Cervical lymphadenopathy remains one of the most frequently observed clinical presentations, with an increasing incidence of non-neoplastic lymph node disorders. This study focuses on our observations over a one-year period at a tertiary care hospital in Gujrat. While fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is commonly employed as the initial diagnostic tool due to its accessibility and efficiency, it has certain limitations in its diagnostic accuracy. For more definitive diagnosis, particularly in cases where FNAC may be inconclusive, excision biopsy followed by a detailed histopathological examination remains the gold standard in evaluating cervical lymphadenopathy.
