LYMPH Node Needle biopsy

Overview

lymph.webp

A lymph node needle biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to collect a small tissue sample from a lymph node for diagnostic purposes. It is performed when there is swelling, infection, or suspicion of conditions like lymphoma, tuberculosis, or metastatic cancer.

Step-by-Step Process

  • Positioning: You will be positioned according to the location of the lymph node (neck, armpit, groin, etc.).
  • Sterilization: The area will be cleaned to prevent infection.
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia will be applied to numb the area.
  • Needle Insertion: A fine or core needle is inserted under ultrasound or CT guidance.
  • Tissue Extraction: The sample is withdrawn and stored for analysis.
  • Post-Procedure Care: A bandage is applied, and you may be monitored briefly before being allowed to go home.

How is LYMPH Node Needle biopsy Done?

Medical Evaluation:
  • Your doctor will review your medical history and perform imaging tests (ultrasound, CT, or MRI) to locate the lymph node.
Medications:
  • Inform your doctor about any blood thinners, as they may need to be stopped before the procedure.
Fasting:
  • In some cases, fasting may be required for a few hours before the biopsy.
Consent:
  • You will need to sign an informed consent form.

The biopsy is typically performed as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia. There are two main types:
Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB):
  • Uses a thin, hollow needle to withdraw fluid and cells.
Core Needle Biopsy (CNB):
  • Uses a larger needle to extract a small tissue core for a more detailed examination.

  • Mild pain or discomfort
  • Bleeding at the biopsy site
  • Infection (rare)
  • Bruising or swelling
  • Rarely, nerve injury
