title: [Thin-needle puncture aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of lymph node tumors].
abstract: 356 patients were studied suffering from lymph node swelling of the neck, supraclavicular region, axilla and groin. A primary or secondary malignant process was confirmed in 196 cases, reactive or granulomatous changes were found in 151 cases, in 64 smears there were only a few lymphocytes and connective tissue.
