  Objective: The objective of the study was to correlate different cytomorphological presentations of cervical lymphadenitis suspected for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) with MTB detection by geneXpert on aspirated material.Study Design: Comparative, cross sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: Department of Histopathology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from January 2017 through November 2018.Methodology: Fine needle aspirates of total 100 patients with cervical lymphadenitis suspected for MTB were included in the study and the cytology was compared with geneXpert, keeping geneXpert as gold standard. After obtaining FNA aspirates from cervical lymph nodes, the smears were evaluated for various patterns of granulomatou.. Read More»
