1. 172 cases of lymphadenopathies in surgical field are presented.Especially metastatic lymph nodes of these cases have been studied cytologically.
2. The smears were made from the imprint technique or aspiration biopsy. They wer stained by the methods of Giemsa, quick Giemsa, papanicolaou, Mann, and periodic-acidschiff reaction.
3. The criteria of malignancy in metastatic lymph node cytology are created.
4. In the imprint technique, the lymph nodes which have more than one-thirds pathological metastasis in these cut-surface tend to be positive cytologically, and the others which have less than one-thirds tend to be negative.
5. In the lymph node cytology during operation, the accuracy rate of the histologically possitive
7. The cytological study of metastatic lymph nodes could be one of the diagnostic methods in the speculation of the primary unknown carcinoma cases is 91.5%, and of the negative cases is 92.2%.
6. In the 35cases, the microscopical comparison are done between the primary and metastatic carcinoma cells. Cytological and cytochemical resemblances are recognized in the both carcinoma cells.
