Fine needle aspiration cytology in lupus lymphadenopathy. A case report.
This case report describes the aspiration cytologic characteristics of histologically proven acute lupus lymphadenitis. The aspirate contained numerous lymphoid cells and many amorphous, basophilic, hematoxylin-stained bodies dispersed in a granular, necrotic background that lacked polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The lymphadenopathy was diagnosed cytologically as necrotizing lymphadenitis and histologically as acute lupus lymphadenitis.
