The term extrapulmonary tuberculosis has been used to describe the isolated occurrence of TB at body sites other than the Lung. In India extrapulmonary tuberculosis comprises 20% of all cases of tuberculosis. Aim and Objective: To study the clinicomorphological pattern of lymphnode pathology.&#13;
Material and__ampersandsignnbsp; Methods: Our study is a retrospective analysis of all lymphnode excision cases received in the Department of Pathology for a period of 5 years (January 2007 to December 2011).&#13;
Result: We received a total of 98 cases, of which 36 were tubercular lymphadenitis. Maximum number of cases was in the age group of 22-31 years and females outnumbered males.&#13;
Conclusion: Cervical group of lymphnodes were most commonly involved and cases w ere at peak in 2011 after which it reduced.&#13;
