Immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangement analysis was performed on 27 fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens (13 reactive hyperplasia, 11 B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), one Hodgkin's disease and two suspicious of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). Satisfactory amplification was achieved in 23/27 cases. A polyclonal pattern was seen in 14 cases (11 reactive hyperplasia, one B-NHL, one suspicious of lymphoma, one Hodgkin's disease). A monoclonal band was seen in nine cases (eight B-NHL, one reactive hyperplasia). Amplification was unsuccessful in four cases. Clonal analysis by PCR-based IgH gene rearrangement analysis can be successfully applied to FNA material and can be useful in diagnosis, but the results must be interpreted in conjunction with morphology and other ancillary information.
