Background & Method: The aim of the study is to study the role of FNAC in the Diagnosis of Cervical Lymphadenopathy. Cervical lymphadenopathy was subjected to FNAC using 22 gauge needle and a 10 ml syringe. The slides were wet fixed and studied using Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. Cases with purulent aspirate were followed up with ZiehlNeelsen staining. Result: The chi-square statistic is 18.1276. The p-value is .045021. The result is significant at p < .05. The chi-square statistic is 78.6268. The p-value is 0.037801. The result is significant at p < .05. Conclusion: FNAC combined with clinical correlation can be used as a first line investigation in work up of lymph node lesions. Further management depending upon the cause can be suitably guided by this simple, cost effective procedure.
