| Popis: | Clinical analysis was performed on 306 patients with cervical lymphadenopathy who were diagnosed histologically by fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology (FNABC) and/or excisional biopsy from Jan 1986 to Jan 1990 at Hanyang University hospital. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Of 306 patients with cervical lymphadenopathy, 216 (70.6%) were inflammatory lesions, and 90 (29.4%) malignant lesions. Tuberculous lymphadenitis of inflammatory lesions was most common (134 cass: 62%). Of malignant lesions, metastatic cancer was more frequent (75 cases: 83.3%). 2) The sex ratio were as follows: inflammatory lesion; M:F=1 : 1.8 (tuberculous lymphadenitis;M : F=1:2.3) malignant lesion; M : F=1.5 : 1 (metastatic cancer; M : F=2.6 : 1) 3) The peak age of inflammatory lymphadenopathy was 20-29 years old (38.9%), and that of malignant lesion 50-59 years old (46.7%). 4) In more than half of tuberculous lymphadenitis and metastatic cancer, the location of enlarged lymph nodes was one side of the neck and the number was more than one. 5) The common primary sites of metastatic cancer were lung and stomach. In 11 cases (14.7%), the primary site could not be found. 6) The sensitivity and the specificity of fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology (FNABC) was 0.83 & 1.0 in metastatic cancer respectively. |
