Introduction: Lymphadenopathy is usually due to benign or malignant conditions. It can also be local or systemic in distribution and can involve peripheral or deep-seated lymph nodes. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of lymphoma and the distribution pattern of lymph node pathologies among adult patients who presented with lymphadenopathy and its relationship with age and sex.

This study aimed to describe the distribution pattern and prevalence of haematological cancers among adults in Abakaliki, Nigeria.
Materials And Methods: This was an 8-year retrospective study in which the hospital records/case notes of adult patients diagnosed and managed for haematological cancers from May 2012 to April 2020 were reviewed.
Background: Breast lump is a very common problem in the surgical units of many hospitals. Considering our unique socio-cultural and economic peculiarities, the ideal initial preoperative diagnostic tool for breast diseases should be cost-effective, simple with minimal physical and psychological trauma.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in the management of palpable breast lesions in our center.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of Papanicolaou test cytology, visual inspection with 5% acetic acid (VIA), and visual inspection with Lugol iodine (VILI) in the detection of premalignant and malignant lesions of the cervix.
Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional comparative study of 200 consenting participants at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki over a 6-month period. All the participants had Papanicolaou test cytology.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates breast cancer's molecular subtypes among indigenous black women in West Africa, focusing on the disproportionate severity of the disease compared to white women.
- It analyzed 507 breast cancer patients from Nigeria and Senegal, finding a high prevalence of aggressive tumor types, particularly triple-negative cancers.
- The results highlight the necessity for increased research into the causes and treatments for these aggressive subtypes, which predominantly affect younger women in the African diaspora.
