Lymphadenopathy is enlarged lymph nodes caused by infection, inflammation or malignancy. On HIV positive patients, lymphadenopathy is one of the most common clinical manifestations and it is usually persistent. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is an effective cytology technique in determining the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy. This study aimed to describe the cytopathology of lymphadenopathy in HIV positive patients. This is a descriptive study of 21 cases of lymphadenopathy in patients with HIV positive who underwent FNAB examination in Anatomical Pathology Department of Dr.Hasan Sadikin Hospital between 2013-2014. Medical data was taken from the patient medical records including age, sex, location, size and cytopathological diagnosis. Cytopathology overview of FNAB specimens were reassessed by 2 pathologists. In this study, lymphadenopathy in HIV positive patients were mainly found in men (n = 15.71%) with an average age between 20-30 years. The most frequent location was the neck (n = 20.95.2%). The lymph nodes size were found between 0.5-3 cm. Most diagnosis was tuberculous lymphadenitis (n = 15.71%) with the most common cytology feature was granulomatous lymphadenitis (n = 5.33.3%) and suppurative lymphadenitis (n = 5.33.3%). FNAB examination in lymphadenopathy is very helpful to identify the cause of infection in HIV positive patients. Keywords: FNAB, HIV, lymphadenopathy, cytopathology

Tubercular Lymphadenitis

INTRODUCTION: Tubercular lymphadenopathy is one of the common clinical problems. Practically diagnosis of tuberculosis sometimes creates a challenge to the pathologist and clinician. A combined approach of cytology with aid of special stain and histopathological evaluation helps to conrm the diagnosis. AIM -The present study was carried out to evaluate the different cytological patterns of tuberculous lymphadenitis along with utility of special stain like Acid fast stain and further histopathological evaluation. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Smears from 833 cytologically diagnosed cases of tubercular lymphadenitis were prepared and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Giemsa and Acid-fast stain. All the smears were categorized into four cytomorphological patterns and correlated with 250 histopathologically available cases. RESULT: Tuberculosis is the major cause of lymphadenopathy. Majority of cases (63 %) were in their second to third decades of life, with male to female ratio of 1:1.4. Cervical region was the most common site of involvement (83.5 %). Smear revealed epithelioid granulomas with caseous necrosis in maximum cases (46.9 %). AFB positivity was seen highest in smear revealing necrosis only with or without epithelioid cell (93,8 %). histopathological correlation was seen in 248 cases out of 250 available cases. CONCLUSION: FNAC has been proved very safe, highly sensitive, and rst line investigation in diagnosing tubercular lymphadenitis. The approach to tubercular lymphadenitis attains completeness with cytopathological, Acid Fast stain and histopathological evaluation.
