Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of salivary gland is a popular technique with high sensitivity and specificity. However, the interpretation FNAC smear lesions great challenge to cytologists. The cytological features various tumors have overlapping many other in head neck region may mimic lesions. Moreover, at times it be difficult differentiate benign from malignant tumor same cell origin. In this article, we discussed problems diagnosis Diagn. Cytopathol. 2015;43:495–509. © 2015...

Chromosomal instability (CI) plays a major role in the carcinogenesis. Micronuclei, nuclear budding, chromatin bridges,and multipolar mitoses are morphological markers of CI and have never been studied routine cytological specimens. Aims study is to analyze significance malignant benign ascitic fluid smears. A total sixty 40 samples were selected for this study. All cases with showed histopathological evidence malignancy ovary omentum. Chromatin bridges, mitosis (MPM), micronuclei budding...

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the kidney is a very rare entity with no definite treatment protocol. Herein, we describe one such case discussion its diagnosis and management. The patient had well circumscribed mass in right extending into inferior vena cava metastasis to both lungs. Right nephrectomy was performed histopathological examination confirmed be renal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. After surgical removal tumor, given chemotherapy Cisplatin Epirubicin, following which there...

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid is an extremely rare neoplasm with aggressive behavior. Until date, only around 60 cases have been reported in literature. treatment patient radical surgery. With optimum survival not more than 6 months this malignancy. However our surgery it was possible because unresectability mass due to encroachment major vessels. Hence, we delivered radiotherapy alone, which effective palliation could be achieved and leading a good quality-of-life for last 1 year.

Abstract Sarcina ventriculi is a rare gram‐positive, anaerobic bacteria, associated with delayed gastric emptying. We report case of 45‐year‐old lady, who presented features outlet obstruction, and coinfection S. Candida was detected on examining brushings biopsy. identified by its peculiar configuration in the form tetrads octets. Coexistence other organisms highly unusual.

We present a unique case of incidentally discovered bilateral Sertoli Leydig cell tumour in primigravida who displayed no features virilization. The apha fetoprotein levels were elevated. Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive ovarian tumors, possibly germ tumor. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy performed and histopathology showed tumor with intermediate to poor differentiation. Immunohistochemistry positive for calretinin inhibin, while cytokeratin negative. Four courses bleomycin-,...

Echinococcosis is a common cause of pulmonary cavities.Aspergillus fumigatus, saprophytic fungus, can colonise cavities caused by tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, echinococcosis, bronchiectasis and neoplasms.Infection Aspergillus often seen in immunosuppressed cases.However, co-infection with echinococcosis unexpected very unusual, especially an immunocompetent patient.We present the case 45-year-old male who came non-resolving pneumonia fever for 8 months dyspnoea since 15 days accompanied...

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Background:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Nocardia,&lt;/i&gt; a gram-positive aerobic bacillus of the Actinomycetales&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt; family, is significant opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised individuals. Clinical and radiological features pulmonary nocardiosis are nonspecific can be misdiagnosed as tuberculosis, pneumocystis, staphylococcal or fungal infections, malignancy. Aspiration cytology with special stains quick effective approach for accurate diagnosis....

Background/Aims: Radiologically guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of internal organs is not cost-effective.Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) smears by a cytopathologist can improve the diagnostic yield FNACs and save time money reducing need for repeat procedure/biopsy.To determine role ROSE in outcome hepatic lesions comparative analysis FNAC with without cytopathologist.Materials Methods: Hepatic were retrospectively analyzed over two separate periods from January 2011 to June...

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected human life significantly. In spite of significant advancement medical technology, management is still focused on preventive strategies due to non availability vaccine or any definitive treatment. include hand hygiene, social distancing, isolation/quarantine along with the methods for boosting immunity. ancient literature and several traditional practices our country guide a hygienic style address aspects transmission infection across society. Furthermore,...

Outbreaks of dengue fever cause widespread mortality. There is a paucity studies on predictors morbidity and mortality in dengue. This observational study was performed to the factors predicting adverse outcomes caused due thereby optimally manage patient's reduce mortality.The included 1-year retrospective prospective period were clinical, laboratory outcome data patients between 18-30 years age, having serology proven (NS1/dengue IgM) recorded analysed.Out 418 patients, 404 (96.64%)...

Introduction - Pulmonary hamartoma, with incidence of 0.25-0.32%, accounts for 6% solitary pulmonary nodules. The role radiology is limited as only 10-30% cases show characteristic ‘popcorn’ calcification and Computed Tomography can detect approximately 50% hamartomas. Hence cytological and/or histopathological examination required to make a definitive diagnosis exclude malignancy. Objective – As hamartoma rare entity detected serendipitously on radiography requires confirmation diagnosis,...

Arachnoid proliferation, although rare, is known to occur in association with optic gliomas. However, chondroid and chordoid metaplasia has not been reported previously.A 27-year-old male presented progressive, painless loss of vision right eye, associated vomiting headache for one a half months. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed contrast enhancing mass arising from planum sphenoidale. Perioperative findings showed the tumor adherent nerve attached basal dura falx. A clinical impression...

Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas are rare sarcomas, with an incidence of less than 2 per million population. Cutaneous metastases from sarcoma account for only 1-2.6% metastatic skin lesions. and subcutaneous metastasis retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is a very entity. We present case 72-year-old male scalp nodule swelling in left posterior axillary fold. Fine needle aspiration cytology both these sites revealed sarcoma, which was positive Smooth Muscle Actin negative S100 on cell block...

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast in pure form comprises only 2% all cancers. Pure mucinous have better prognosis. They are usually having higher incidence peri-menopausal and post-menopausal age group. We report a 32-year-old female, clinically suspected to benign disease, diagnosed as on FNAC. In such cases, there is always high probability missing diagnosis at imaging because absence established radiological signs malignancy calcification spiculation. this case was not helpful ascertained...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) commonly affects the elderly and is mostly confined to head neck region. Only 10% of all cases occur on trunk. We presented a case bullous lesion abdomen in young male, initially diagnosed by clinicians as vascular nevus. Histopathological examination immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed it be Nodular cystic variant BCC. This rare BCC morphologically resembles benign skin adnexal tumor Eccrine syringofibroadenoma. Ber Ep4 positivity IHC established correct...

Entamoeba histolytica has been rarely reported as superadded infection over carcinomatous growth on rectal brushings. We present a case of 68-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and bleeding per rectum was found to have an ulceroproliferative sigmoidoscopy. Rectal brushings revealed coexistence E. malignant cells adenocarcinoma. No organism detected biopsy the tumor, which also showed adenocarcinoma, because possible surface colonization tumor by Entamoeba. This highlights role...

Histoplasma capsulatum is no longer confined to certain geographic areas and should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy organomegaly HIV-positive patients. We present an unusual case a 20-year-old immunocompromised male African origin presenting with fever, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, retroperitoneal cervical lymphadenopathy. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) smears from lymph node revealed numerous yeast forms histoplasma macrophages. The patient succumbed...
