title: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy.
abstract: In this article, we have described the fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of five cases of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD). FNAB of these cases showed large number of capillary fragments, along with polymorphous population of cells consisting of plenty of immunoblasts, plasma cells, eosinophils, and mast cells. Two cases showed clusters of clear cells. It is essential to have detailed clinical features for FNAB diagnosis of AILD. Histopathology is advisable in all the fresh cases. FNAB is helpful for screening and follow-up of AILD.
