Abstract

Introduction: Granulomatous inflammatory lesion on fine needle aspiration cytology is one of the common encountered entity. It can be easily diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) thereby having immense effect on initiation of treatment modalities.
Aim: To evaluate cytological features of granulomatous lesions diagnosed on FNAC
Method: This is a retrospective study done over a period of two years. Cytology records and slides were archived in detail and reviewed to categorize granulomatous inflammatory lesions into different categories
Results: Totally 43 cases were collected over a period of two years. Majority showed cytological pattern of presence of epithelial gramulomas with caseation necrosis. Stain for acid fast bacilli was positive in 4 cases(9.3%)

Conclusion: The predominant cytological pattern described was presence of epitheloid granulomas with caseation necrosis followed by epithelioid granulomas without necrosis and caseation necrosis without epitheliod cells.
