To study the patient profile for symptomatic peripheral lymphadenopathy in terms of histopathological findings and demography and evaluate the yield, relevance, and outcomes of peripheral lymph node biopsy (PLNB) as a diagnostic step in a remote setup in the absence of less invasive options like fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or ultrasonogram- (USG-) guided FNAC.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A retrospective review of patients undergoing PLNB between 1 May 2011 and 30 April 2013 was done. Demographics, histopathological reports, and outcomes were studied.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Of 132 patients, 51 (38.63%) were male and 81 (61.36%) were female. There were 48 (36.3%) patients in the age group less than 16 years, and 84 (63.6%) were beyond 16 years. The commonest site of biopsy was the neck in 114 (86.36%) patients. The histopathological diagnosis was tuberculosis (TB) in 60 (45.45%) patients, reactive lymphadenitis in 29 (21.9%), nonspecific granuloma in 18 (13.6%), lymphoma in 7 (5.3%), acute lymphadenitis in 7 (5.3%), metastatic secondary in 3 (2.2%), and other benign causes in 8 (6.06%).<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. PLNB is a procedure with good diagnostic yield in evaluation of peripheral lymphadenopathy. Its relevance is appreciable in a remote setup where less invasive options are unavailable. Its simplicity and lack of mortality\/significant morbidity make it a valid option in rural surgical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/8120390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,20]],"date-time":"2018-03-20T23:32:55Z","timestamp":1521588775000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Peripheral Lymph Node Excisional Biopsy: Yield, Relevance, and Outcomes in a Remote Surgical Setup"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2853-5376","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ashish Lal","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, United Mission Hospital, Tansen, Palpa, Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pradita","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, United Mission Hospital, Tansen, Palpa, Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1","first-page":"393","volume":"143","year":"1985","journal-title":"Western Journal of Medicine"},{"issue":"6","key":"2","first-page":"1313","volume":"58","year":"1998","journal-title":"American Family Physician Journal"},{"issue":"176","key":"3","first-page":"306","volume":"48","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal of the Nepal Medical Association (JNMA)"},{"issue":"2","key":"4","first-page":"158","volume":"39","year":"2014","journal-title":"Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences"},{"issue":"11","key":"5","first-page":"15234","volume":"8","year":"2015","journal-title":"International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0031-3955(05)70051-1"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00008480-199402000-00012"},{"issue":"3","key":"8","first-page":"242","volume":"84","year":"1999","journal-title":"Haematologica"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1308\/003588408x242105"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1308\/003588408x321837"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.184.5.01841691"},{"issue":"3","key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"461","DOI":"10.1016\/S0095-4543(21)00310-9","volume":"7","year":"1980","journal-title":"Primary Care"}],"container-title":["Surgery Research and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/srp\/2018\/8120390.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/srp\/2018\/8120390.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/srp\/2018\/8120390.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,16]],"date-time":"2022-08-16T15:39:41Z","timestamp":1660664381000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/srp\/2018\/8120390\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["8120390","8120390"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2018\/8120390","relation":{},"ISSN":["2356-7759","2356-6124"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2356-7759"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2356-6124"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018]]}}}
