ABSTRACT
Lymph node biopsy is a key component in the workup and diagnosis of pediatric hematologic malignancies. There are numerous pre-operative and operative considerations for safe and effective lymph node sampling. Core needle biopsy, lymph node excision, and laparoscopic approaches may all be utilized for lymph node biopsy, depending on these considerations. An interdisciplinary understanding of the surgical considerations, risks, and complications of lymph node biopsy for the diagnosis of hematologic malignancy can aid hematologists and surgeons alike in providing expedient, coordinated care.
