OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to determine the presence or absence of malignant etiology in the epidemiological, clinical and laboratory results of @entity1 undergoing lymph node biopsies. @entity1 AND METHODS: This study was carried out between January 2013 and April 2014. We enrolled a total of 150 adult @entity1 who had lymph node biopsies. 73 of these were females (48.7%) and 77 were males (51.3%). The epidemiological characteristics, clinical and laboratory findings were evaluated and compared with the pathological results. RESULTS: @entity1431 (p=0.05) @entity882 (p=0.03) and increased @entity880 dehydrogenase levels (p=0.01) were found to be associated with the @entity5 . In the cervical, submandibular, axillary and inguinal areas @entity3329 was generally seem to be benign while the rate of @entity5 was higher in the intra-abdominal and supraclavicular regions. In those cases who had a lymph node index of below 2 there was a higher rate of @entity5 (p=0.04). In cases which @entity3329 accompanied by @entity381 has been found associated with @entity5 (p=0.009). No association with regards to @entity5 was found with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, @entity1851 and @entity382 . CONCLUSIONS: According to the results of the study five variables including @entity1503 , @entity880 dehydrogenase levels, @entity381 , lymph node index below 2, intra-abdominal and supraclavicular @entity3329 were concluded to be the most suitable means of predicting malignant etiology.

The predictive value of epidemiological characteristics, clinical and laboratory findings in adult XXXX etiology.
