Role of Fine‐Needle Aspiration Cytology in Evaluating Superficial Lymphadenopathy in a Resource‐Limited Setting, Eastern Ethiopia

FNAC remains a simple, valid, reliable, rapid, and cost-effective method for diagnosis, treatment, or indicating further diagnostic work-up in resource-limited countries, such as Ethiopia. FNAC has high diagnostic accuracy, preventing unnecessary surgical removal of lymphadenopathy for diagnosis. However, clinicopathological correlation, repeating the FNAC, or performing an incisional lymph node biopsy is recommended for enhanced efficiency.

Abstract

FNAC remains a simple, valid, reliable, rapid, and cost-effective method for diagnosis, treatment, or indicating further diagnostic work-up in resource-limited countries, such as Ethiopia. FNAC has high diagnostic accuracy, preventing unnecessary surgical removal of lymphadenopathy for diagnosis. However, clinicopathological correlation, repeating the FNAC, or performing an incisional lymph node biopsy is recommended for enhanced efficiency.
