132 patients of clinically significant lymphadenopathy were subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Maximum patients were from the pediatric age group (39%). Lymphnodes of the left side were involved in 54 cases (40%) followed by right side in 30 cases (22%). Tuberculosis was diagnosed in 54 cases (40%) followed by nonspecific reactive lymphadenitis which was diagnosed in 50 cases (37.8%). The acid fast bacilli (AFB) postivity in tubercular lymphadenitis was 33.33%. There was one false negative in this study. The overall accuracy of the procedure was 91.5%. FNAC is a safe, quick, reliable procedure with high diagnostic accuracy.
