OBJECTIVE: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of lymph nodes can be used routinely as a first-line diagnostic test. The majority of studies reveal a malignant cause for palpable supraclavicular lymph nodes. The present audit further emphasizes the use of FNAC as a first-line investigation for the evaluation of enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes.
METHODS: A total of 200 cases of palpable supraclavicular lymph node(s) were included in the present study.
RESULTS: Left supraclavicular lymph nodes were found to be more commonly involved (59.5% cases). Sixty-four per cent cases showed metastatic deposits and 13.5% cases were diagnosed as tuberculosis. Ten per cent cases showed reactive lymphoid hyperplasia; 0.5% (one) case showed only necrosis and on autopsy, a microscopic focus of choriocarcinoma was found in the testis. In 7.5% cases, diagnostic material could not be aspirated despite repeated attempts. Common metastatic tumours were from lung (22% cases), breast (16.4% cases), cervix (11% cases) and oesophagus (8.6% cases). In 13.3% cases the primary site was unknown and the diagnosis of malignancy first came from FNAC.
CONCLUSION: The present study further highlights the importance of FNAC as a first-line diagnostic modality in the evaluation of supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. A full history, radiological findings and immunochemistry in difficult cases can help to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.
