• Filtration of Lymph –Absorption of water and
electrolytes.
• Bacteria and other toxic substances are
destroyed by Macrophages of Lymph nodes
• Lymph nodes are found throughout the body.
• Part of the body’s immune system.
• These nodes help fight infection by producing
special white blood cells.
• They also work by trapping bacteria, viruses,
and cancer cells.
• Normally, lymph nodes cannot be felt unless
they are swollen.
Enlargement of lymph nodes:
• INFLAMMATORY : Acute and chronic lymphadinitis.
• Chronic is again subdivided into specific i.e TB, Syphlis,Filarial,
lymphpgranuloma inguinale. & Non specific or pyogenic.
• NEOPLASTIC: Almost always malignant. Primary and Secondary
Primary[reticulosis]: Hodgkin’s disease, Lymphosarcoma,
Reticulosarcoma, lymphtic leukaemia.
Secondary: Carcinoma, Melanoma, Sarcoma
DIFFERENT TYPES OF LYMPH NODE
BIOPSY
• Sentinel lymph node biopsy
• Fine needle aspiration (FNA).
• Core needle biopsy.
• Open biopsy.
Fine needle aspiration (FNA).
FNAC
• Needle into the lymph nodes to remove
fluid and cells, which get examined .
• local anesthesia is needed sometimes.
• 23 GAUGE NEEDLE IS REQUIRED
• Can be USG OR CT GUIDED(radiologist help

Open or excisional biopsy
• The skin over the enlarged lymph node is
marked and cleaned.

• Swelling
• Nerve damage, including numbness at the
biopsy site, which usually resolves in a few
months
