颈淋巴结穿刺细胞学检查对颈淋巴结转移的诊断价值

目的 探讨采用颈淋巴结穿刺细胞学检查进行颈淋巴结转移诊断的临床价值.方法 随机选取本院2003年1月至2015年2月收治的甲状腺癌颈淋巴结转移患者80例,所有患者均接受颈淋巴结细针穿刺细胞学检查,对患者的细胞学检查结果进行观察记录,并同术后常规病理诊断结果进行对比分析.结果 80例患者经颈淋巴结穿刺细胞学检查,其中74例患者诊断为存在甲状腺癌颈淋巴结转移,阳性率为92.50％;颈淋巴结穿刺细胞学检查的灵敏度(85.19％)明显高于甲状腺切片细胞学检查结果(33.33％),差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论 颈淋巴结穿刺细胞学检查可对甲状腺癌合并颈淋巴结转移患者进行准确的术前诊断,有助于手术方案的制定和治疗的顺利开展,建议在临床上进一步推广.

Clinical value of aspiration cytology of cervical lymph node in the diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis

Objective To investigate the clinical value of aspiration cytology of cervical lymph node in the diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis.Methods 80 cases of thyroid cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis admitted in our hospital from January 2003 to February 2015 were randomly selected.All patients were treated with fine needle aspiration cytology of cervical lymph node;the results were observed and recorded, and then compared with the routine postoperative pathological diagnosis results for analysis.Results After 80 patients received fine needle aspiration cytology of cervical lymph node, 74 cases were diagnosed as metastasis of cervical lymph node of thyroid cancer, with the positive rate of 92.50％;and the sensitivity of aspiration cytology of cervical lymph node was higher than that of slide cytological examination (85.19％ vs.33.33％), with statistically significant difference (P＜0.05).Conclusion Aspiration cytology of cervical lymph node can provide accurate preoperative diagnosis for thyroid cancer patients with cervical lymph node metastasis, which is helpful for the decision of the surgical plan and the successful development of the treatment.
