Question 1

I'm really concerned about what the FNAC report means for my left-sided cervical lymph node swelling. It mentioned necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis with small lymphocytes, immunoblasts, macrophages, and some epithelioid cell granulomas, plus specks of necrosis. Could you explain what this means and suggest any treatments? Also, should I be worried about this finding?

Accepted Answer

Treatment for necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis typically involves a course of antibiotics such as **Augmentin (AmoxicillinClavulanic Acid). In cases where the infection is severe or not responding to antibiotics, a short course of **Prednisone** may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

My wife is 23 and has been suffering from fibroadenoma for 4 years. There's a 3 cm lump in her right breast and she's really scared. Are there any treatment options without surgery? She's very worried about going under the knife.

Accepted Answer

Surger opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 3

My CT scan shows a large 6cm mass in the posterior fundus of the stomach, possibly a GIST. The biopsy came back as fibrocollegnous tissue with no malignancy. What's the next step should we try to shrink it with meds or go straight for surgery? Any specific treatments you'd recommend?

Accepted Answer

If GIST is suspected, surgical removal is ideal; medication like imatinib is used for certain confirmed GISTs.
