Swelling Near Left Shoulder. FNA Test Done. What Does Report Suggest?

Occasional small aggregates of cells with elongated nucleas resembling epitheliod cells are seen. No necrosis identified. No atypical cells seen . Impression: Features are suggestive of granulomatous lymphadenitis, right supraclavicular node. Kindly advise.

Dear friend, welcome and thanks for entrusting your query here at HCM!
I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.
The microscopy of the supraclavicular lymph node shows a granulomatous inflammation with no necrosis or cancer cells.
It means aggregation of inflammatory reactive cells (epitheloid and lymphocytes) which are usually
indicative of chronic infection. Cause will depend on your symptoms.
It does not show cancer or central decay (like in TB).
Please seek treating doctor’s advice to determine significance of these findings.
It is not serious.
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Please ask for any clarifications before closing and rating this answer.
