    Summary

    Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a useful diagnostic tool for lymph node lesions, with minimal patient discomfort and no apparent risk of tumor spread. This technique also supports its use in clinical research.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Cytopathology

    Background:

    • Lymph node biopsies are crucial for diagnosing various lesions.
    • Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) offers a minimally invasive approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility and limitations of FNAB for lymph node lesions.
    • To assess the impact of FNAB on cell viability for research purposes.
    • To investigate the potential risk of tumor cell dissemination associated with FNAB.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed description of aspiration biopsy technique, smear preparation, and staining.
    • In vitro studies on blastocytic transformation of aspirated cells.
    • Discussion of potential routes of tumor cell spread.

    Main Results:

    • Aspiration biopsy is useful for diagnosing benign and malignant lymph node lesions.
    • Cells remain viable for research after aspiration, unaffected by the procedure.
    • No apparent risk of tumor spread through needle track or lymphatics was identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a valuable and safe diagnostic method for lymph node evaluation.
    • The procedure's minimal discomfort and cell viability make it suitable for clinical research.
    • FNAB does not increase the risk of tumor dissemination in malignant cases.
