Comparative Evaluation of Routine and Special Staining Techniques in Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Lymph Nodes
FNAC used in conjunction with special stains and immunocytochemistry is much more effective in increasing diagnostic accuracy in infectious and neoplastic lymphadenopathy. Auramine-rhodamine was more sensitive than TB-Ziehl-Neelsen. This integrative methodology plays an essential role in proper and early diagnosis, particularly in resource-limited environments.
