Report

Hello, I had noticed a small swelling above my right collar bone and I was advised an FNAC procedure. The test report says following, Specimen: Right Cervical Lymphnode Cytological Examination: Haemorrhagic aspirate shows very scanty reactive lymphoid cell population comprising, mainly small lymphocytes, immunoblasts and few degenerated cells. No definite granulomas identified No atypical lymphoid cell/ R S like cell seen. Few necrotic foci are seen. Ziehl - Neelsen stain performed on one of the smear for acid fast bacilli is negative. Two smears are acellular. Impression: Features are suggestive of Reactive Lymphoid Aspirate. Note: In view of the above findings it is advisable to do open biopsy of this lesion for a definitive diagnosis, if lymph node swelling persists. The swelling has definitely come down in the last 6 days, I was prescribed Bactomin 750. Do I still need to get a biopsy done. Please advise. Thanks
