Objective: To evaluate the role of Fine needle Aspiration Cytology and Imprint Cytodiagnosis in the diagnosis of Lymphadenopathy.

Materials and Methods: Eighteen patients having lumps as a clinical diagnosis, attended Surgical outdoor of a hospital attached to a medical college were included in the study. Lumps were subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology, excision then imprint smears, specimen thus obtained subjected to histological examination.

Statistical analysis: were expressed in terms of simple proportion

Findings: 94.44% and 5.55% accuracy and false negativity rate respectively was noted in both F.N.A.C. and Imprint cytodiagnosis, similarly false positivity rate was zero.

Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration cytology and imprint, both are simple, safe, reliable, easily learnt techniques and they save a lot of time, money, hospital beds stay and above all anxiety to the patient.
