Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
FNAC findings are typical of tuberculous lymphadenitis.
It is suggested by predominant lymphocytes & precursors with few clusters of epitheloid histiocytes amounting to granuloma.It is also suggested by necrotizing granulomatous lesions.
You need antitubercular drugs for T.B adenitis(infection in lymph nodes).
You should consult your physician.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
