Background: The change in size of the papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) nodule during active surveillance has traditionally been characterized as either stable, increasing, or decreasing based on changes maximal tumor diameter volume. More recently, it observed that observation are more complex with volume kinetic patterns can be stable (Pattern I), early increase II), later III), followed by stability IV), an V), a decrease VI). Methods: frequency, time course, and clinical correlates these...
BACKGROUND The distinction of a primary lung carcinoma from metastatic lesion is important, because the treatment and prognosis differ for patients with these malignancies. Such can be difficult overlapping cytologic features. It has been shown that antibodies to thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) PE-10 are fairly specific markers tumors in histologic specimens. TTF-1 regulates expression surfactant protein production, monoclonal antibody against components human proteins. combination...
BACKGROUND Although stereotaxic fine-needle aspiration biopsy or core (14-gauge) have proven to be accurate techniques for the evaluation of mammographically detected microcalcification, development Mammotome Biopsy System (Biopsys Medical, Inc., Irvine, CA) has led many medical centers use this vacuum-assisted device sampling microcalcification. METHODS One hundred forty-two women underwent 160 biopsies mammographic calcification over a 1-year period. The procedure was performed by...
INTRODUCTION. Although the cytologic features of Hodgkin disease (HD) has been well described, HD accounts for most false-negative fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies malignant lymphomas. In this study, authors examined factors contributing to a diagnosis HD.Eighty-nine cases from 72 patients (23 females and 49 males) with evaluated by FNA were identified between 1990 1999. The patients' ages ranged 5 90 years (median, 38 years). Eighty-five FNAs lymph nodes, 4 extranodal sites. Histologic...

Abstract Background The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) provides a standardized reporting system salivary gland fine‐needle aspiration (SGFNA). We review the clinical utility of MSRSGC at tertiary care cancer center by assessing rates malignancy (ROM) among different categories. Methods A retrospective search was performed to retrieve all SGFNA cases our institution between 1/1/07 and 12/31/18. initial primary diagnoses were recorded then assigned appropriate...
Spindle cell and mesenchymal lesions of the lung encompass a wide variety benign malignant conditions. However, to authors' knowledge, because their rarity, few reports concerning cytologic findings are available in literature. The current review emphasizes cytomorphologic features, differential diagnosis, potential pitfalls associated with these lesions.Seven hundred seventy-nine percutaneous fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens were retrieved from cytopathology files over period 5 years....
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) has been successful in diagnosing epithelial lesions of the breast. Its role evaluation spindle cell and mesenchymal breast, which include a variety benign malignant conditions, is less clear. This article discusses cytologic features differential diagnosis these lesions, as well potential diagnostic pitfalls associated with them.FNAs or component was key dominant feature, were retrieved. Fibroadenomas without cellular stroma typical lipomas...
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is an accurate and cost-effective procedure for evaluating salivary gland lesions. Lymphoproliferative lesions may manifest as enlargement. We report our experience with 43 cases of reactive neoplastic lymphoproliferative the glands evaluated by FNA, including 23 lymphoid hyperplasia 20 processes. The latter included 2 multiple myelomas 18 non-Hodgkin lymphomas (small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic leukemia, 1; small cleaved cell lymphoma,...

Background The management of high‐risk human papillomavirus (HR‐HPV)–related oropharyngeal head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are distinct from HNSCC linked to smoking alcohol use. HR‐HPV–positive frequently presents as a cervical lymph node metastasis. Because fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) is often the initial diagnostic procedure, evaluating HR‐HPV status in cytology specimens important. overexpression p16 surrogate for HR‐HPV; however, evaluation FNAs remains controversial....
Although two-thirds of tumors occurring in the central nervous system (CNS) are primary neoplasms, only 10% positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from CNS tumors. In this study, we reviewed cytologic findings 21 CSF A computer search identified cases patients with archives. Follow-up included review medical charts and histologic correlation. The were 20 (9 females 11 males). Their ages ranged 6-83 yr, old a mean 30 yr. 9 medulloblastomas, 7 gliomas (3 glioblastoma multiformes, 2...
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy can accurately diagnose epithelial lesions of the salivary gland. Its role in evaluation gland containing a significant spindle cell component is less clear. We describe cytologic features 25 and discuss differential diagnosis potential diagnostic pitfalls. Twenty-five smears (3.0%) or mesenchymal were identified out 844 FNAs performed over 5-year period. These from patients. The classified into three categories: 1) reactive inflammatory conditions,...
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) accounts for 10-20% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States. In this study, authors reviewed cytologic and immunophenotypic findings 33 fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) PTCL.Thirty-three FNAs from 26 patients (12 females 14 males) with PTCL were identified during 1991-1999. The patients' age ranged 19 to 96 years. Immunophenotyping was performed 24 cases by using either flow cytometry (FC; 21 cases) or immunocytochemistry (IC; 3 cases). Follow-up...
The presence of lymph node metastases in patients with malignant melanoma implies a significant decrease survival. authors investigated the efficacy fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) diagnosis metastatic 115 and clinically suspicious regional nodes.One hundred thirty-three FNABs were performed by cytopathologists after referral from surgeons or oncologists using 25-gauge 27-gauge needle.The cytologic was negative 35, atypical 1, 2, positive for 95.

Diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas based on cytologic evaluation fine-needle aspirates and body cavity fluids has gained increasing acceptance. However, the accurate diagnosis classification low- intermediate-grade B-cell with a predominant small-cell population still present diagnostic challenge. In this study, we reviewed cytology immunophenotype 56 cases composed predominantly small cells, histologic correlation in all cases. These consisted 23 lymphocytic (SLL), 15 follicular center...
BACKGROUND Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a relatively rare neoplasm, accounting for approximately 2.5% of all soft tissue tumors. Its histopathology has been well documented but to the authors' knowledge reports regarding its fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology rarely are encountered. In current study authors report cytologic findings in FNA specimens from nine confirmed cases HPC and attempt correlate features with biologic outcomes. METHODS was performed or without radiologic guidance....
