What Is My FNAC Test Result Suggestive Of?
Hi, my mother (76yrs old) underwent FNAC test. Report is as follows: FNAC smears from supraclavicular lymph node shows good cellularity. Shows polymorphs population of lymphocytes predominantly small mature lymphocytes along with few epitheloid cells. Background shows caseous necrosis. AFB Stain - Negative for Acid Fast Bacilli. Comment: U/S guided FNAC right supraclavicular Lymphnode Suggestive of Granulomatous Lymphodenitis. Is there anything to worry about? Can it be cancer? I have to wait for 3 days as the doc is on leave. So meanwhile please guide as to my doubts. Thanks

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what your mother had been going through lately.
Based on the report you have shared, she may be suffering from tuberculosis or sarcoidosis. she should get her ESR done along with serum ACE levels to get the final diagnosis.
However, the chances of cancer are less likely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
