==Lymph node metastasis==
==Lymph node metastasis==
===General===
{{Main|Lymph node metastasis}}
*Determination of ''lymph node status'' is one of the most common indications for the examination of lymph nodes.
*It is a good idea to look at the tumour (if available) ...before looking at the LNs for mets.
*Lymph node metastasis, in the absence of other metastases, often up-stage a cancer from [[cancer staging|stage]] II to stage III.
 
===Gross===
*Outside:
**"Large" - size varies by site.
***Neck >10 mm.<ref name=pmid18337039>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Mack | first1 = MG. | last2 = Rieger | first2 = J. | last3 = Baghi | first3 = M. | last4 = Bisdas | first4 = S. | last5 = Vogl | first5 = TJ. | title = Cervical lymph nodes. | journal = Eur J Radiol | volume = 66 | issue = 3 | pages = 493-500 | month = Jun | year = 2008 | doi = 10.1016/j.ejrad.2008.01.019 | PMID = 18337039 }}</ref>
**Shape - round more suspicious than oval.
*Sectioned:
**White firm lesion with irregular border - classic appearance.
**Non-fatty hilum.<ref name=pmid18337039/>
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Foreign cell population - '''key feature'''.
**Classic location: subcapsular sinuses.
*+/-Cells with cytologic features of malignancy.
**Nuclear pleomorphism (variation in size, shape and staining).
**Nuclear atypia:
***Nuclear enlargement.
***Irregular nuclear membrane.
***Irregular chromatin pattern, esp. asymmetry.
***Large or irregular nucleolus.
**Abundant mitotic figures.
*+/-Cells in architectural arrangements seen in malignancy; highly variable - dependent on tumour type and differentiation.
**+/-Gland formation.
**+/-Single cells.
**+/-Small clusters of cells.
 
Notes:
#Cytologic features of malignancy may not be present; some tumours, e.g. gallbladder carcinoma, do not always have overt cytologic features of malignancy.
#*The diagnosis is based on the fact that they are foreign to the lymph node ''and'' architecturally consistent with a well-differentiated malignancy.

This article deals with non-haematologic malignant, i.e. metastases, and non-malignant lymph node pathology. An introduction to the lymph node is in the lymph nodes article.

Haematologic malignancies (in lymph nodes) are dealt with in other articles - see haematopathology and lymphoma.

Overview

Clinical:

  • Lymphadenopathy.

Differential diagnosis:[1]

  • Infectious - fungal, mycobacterial, viral, protozoal (Toxoplasma), bacterial (Chlamydia, Rickettsia, Bartonella)).
  • Neoplastic - lymphoma, carcinoma.
  • Endocrine - hyperthyroidism.
  • Trauma.
  • Autoimmune - SLE, RA, dermatomyositis.
  • Inflammatory - drugs (phenytoin).
  • Idiopathic - sarcoidosis.
