This chapter focuses on lymphadenopathy not caused by lymphoma and other hematopoietic neoplasia. Abnormal lymph nodes are usually initially evaluated by cytologic evaluation of fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies as a minimally invasive test with rapidly available interpretations. Two syndromes presumptively associated with pyogenic bacterial infections and lymphadenitis, contagious streptococcal lymphadenitis of cats and puppy strangles, have been described in small animals. Also, localized streptococcal and staphylococcal infections may result in solitary or regional lymphadenopathy in these species. Histopathology reveals abundant information not available from cytology. Architectural patterns are important in differential diagnosis of hyperplasia from neoplasia. There are often more special stains available to histopathologists than to cytologists to more precisely identify various cell types.
