Pathological diagnosis traditionally requires invasive procedures such as bronchoscopy, mediastinoscopy, or image guided biopsy. Ultrasound of the neck with fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of enlarged but impalpable supraclavicular nodes has been used in patients with suspected lung cancer who have N2 or N3 dise...

متن کاملFine Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Lymph Nodes
Fine needle aspiration biopsy of lymph nodes using a 19 gauge needle and Luer Lok syringe was performed in 59 cases. This was compared with histological diagnosis and an accuracy of 93.2% was achieved. This method is simple and is highly acceptable among patients. It is a very useful technique where a biopsy of lymph node is not possible (JPMA 30:267, 1980).
