“…The use of fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in the evaluation of patients with lymphadenopathy provides a minimally invasive modality to obtain clinical answers that can guide treatment decisions 1–3. Given that FNA is a quick, accurate, cost‐effective, and safe diagnostic technique, it can rapidly alleviate patient anxiety in benign scenarios, and can appropriately triage specimens 2, 4.…”

Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is a quick, cost-effective, and safe diagnostic modality that provides answers to guide treatment and management in patients with lymphadenopathy. In adults and children, there are a range of non-neoplastic, non-infectious etiologies for lymphadenopathy. These include reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), dermatopathic lymphadenitis (DLN), Rosai-Dorfman disease, Castleman disease, Kimura disease, Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, and lymphadenopathy associated with autoimmune and metabolic/storage disease. Other benign nodal entities that may be encountered include lymph node infarction, foreign body reactions, drug reactions, extramedullary hematopoeisis, and benign inclusions. This article reviews the practical role of FNA in the evaluation of these benign, non-infectious causes of lymphadenopathy and focuses on their cytomorphology and differential diagnosis.

Carcinoma of the prostate is the second most common cancer in men, yet no significant change in overall survival has occurred since the original description of the results of castration by Huggins and Hodges. Many important questions about the disease remain unanswered. The cause of prostatic cancer is unknown, and few specific environmental or viral agents have been linked with the tumor. Increased recognition of the importance of frequent digitial rectal examination has resulted in more tumors being diagnosed in early stages. Developments in sonography suggest that it may be useful in detecting the presence of prostatic cancer and whether extraprostatic extension has occurred. Recent inprovements in the sensitivity of prostatic acid phosphatase assays have been made, but their use as a screening tool remains limited. In patients with clinical stage B lesions that are microscopically confined to the prostate, treatment by radical prostatectomy appears to confer greatest survival. The exact role of radiotherapy remains to be defined. However, when the tumor extends beyond the prostate and is localized to the pelvis, external beam ro interstitial radiation is appropriate. Pelvic lymphadenectomy has significant morbidity, but less invasive methods of pelvic nodal evaluation are less accurate. Lymphadenectomy has not been shown to have any therapeutic effect. Whether hormonal therapy improves survival needs further investigation, and efforts must continue to develop means of predicting hormonal responsiveness. Those patients unlikely to respond to hormonal therapy should be treated with early chemotherapy.
