Of those, 145 (55.3%) patients had tuberculosis, 59 (223%) had malignas4,’ 50 (19%) had reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, 6 (2.3%) patients had chronic non-caseaLing granulornatous inflammation, and 1 (0.4%) patient had acute suppurative lymphadenitis. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) was perfonned in 23 (8.7%) patients only, which showed a positive correlation (78%) with the results of open biopsy.
