Fine needle cytology (FNC) is widely used as a first‐line procedure in the diagnostic algorithm of lymphadenopathies. In a metastatic setting, a first‐line diagnostic approach identifies non‐haematopoietic malignancy; however, cytopathologists could also provide a second diagnostic level, identifying the origin of the primary tumour. This paper outlines a comprehensive and practical approach to the cytological diagnosis of lymph node metastases.
