Which is better for puncture and biopsy of swollen lymph nodes?

Feb 18, 2022

In order to clarify the cause of the enlarged lymph node, a puncture or biopsy of the lymph node can be considered to clarify the pathology. Because the tissue obtained by the puncture is relatively small, sometimes misdiagnosis may occur. If the locally enlarged lymph node can be surgically removed, It is better to do surgery, but if the lymph nodes are swollen and fused into a mass, and it is difficult to remove surgically, you can consider puncture for pathology. There are two possibilities for the so-called biopsy in clinical practice. The first is the complete excision of the mass. It is the best, that is, the diagnosis can be made, and the mass is removed. The second is that the mass is relatively large, fused into a mass, or has a close relationship with the blood vessels, so it is difficult to completely remove it. Part of the tissue can be excised for pathology, which is called biopsy. Compared with puncture, its advantage is that the obtained tissue samples are more abundant, and it is not easy to be misdiagnosed. As for which method to use, the doctor will make it clear after the physical examination, which method is most suitable for a clear pathological diagnosis.
