Lymph node biopsy is often easy to perform but final histologic diagnosis and accuracy depends on its technical quality: adequate biopsy and proper fixation and processing. This technical note defines advice on the selection of the lymph node biopsy site, shows the interest of a previous lymph node needle aspiration and gives the principles of histopathological techniques: cytology on imprints from the excised fresh unfixed node, fixation, staining methods ad immunohistochemistry. A place is given to the indications of frozen section diagnosis, frozen tissue, electron microscopy, microbiological, cytogenetic and molecular studies for gene rearrangement.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D005404 Fixatives Agents employed in the preparation of histologic or pathologic specimens for the purpose of maintaining the existing form and structure of all of the constituent elements. Great numbers of different agents are used; some are also decalcifying and hardening agents. They must quickly kill and coagulate living tissue. Fixative,Pickling Agents,Agents, Pickling
