Percutaneous lymph node biopsy using fine-needle aspiration is becoming more accepted for diagnosing lymphomas. Improved imaging and cytologic analysis enhance its ease, safety, and accuracy.

Area of Science:

Medical imaging
Oncology
Pathology

Background:

Lymphadenopathy detection is crucial for diagnosing lymphomas.
Percutaneous lymph node biopsy (PLNB) offers a minimally invasive approach.
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a key technique in PLNB.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the increasing acceptance and utility of PLNB with FNA for lymphoma diagnosis.
To discuss the factors driving the adoption of this technique.

Main Methods:

Review of advancements in imaging modalities for lymphadenopathy.
Evaluation of the ease, safety, and accuracy of PLNB/FNA tools and techniques.
Assessment of refined ancillary studies for cytologic analysis.
