Reports on treatment outcomes of visceral leishmaniasis (VL)-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection in India are lacking. To our knowledge, none have studied the efficacy liposomal amphotericin B VL-HIV coinfection. We report 2-year VL-HIV-coinfected patients treated with followed by combination antiretroviral (cART) Bihar, India.The study included all newly diagnosed and initiating (20-25 mg/kg 4-15 days) between July 2007 September 2010. Kaplan-Meier estimates cumulative incidence...
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or Kala-azar is a common parasitic infection among children in Iran. The records of 249 with VL were evaluated retrospectively. clinical, hematologic, and bone marrow biopsy findings studied. In particular, we assessed whether there was an association between prognosis. Five major groups identified: (1) hypercellular many Leishman Donovan (LD) bodies, (2) multiple noncaseating granulomas few LD (3) diffuse fibrosis rare (4) benign lymphoid nodules (5) necrosis...
To evaluate the cytologic findings and pitfalls in diagnosis of myoepithelioma salivary glands.Smears from 7 cases glands, 3 plasmacytoid, 2 spindle mixed types, all histologically confirmed, were evaluated with special attention to features that may be helpful for diagnosis.A correct was not made any cases. Three diagnosed as plasmacytomas or cellular pleomorphic adenomas, benign cell tumors adenomas. Mitoses marked pleomorphism absent. Nuclear striations noted frequently.Diagnosis...
Cystic papillary thyroid carcinoma (CPTC) is a variant of that has many mimickers in cytological grounds.To study the cytomorphologic features CPTC and compare them to those other cystic lesions using fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). We also aimed identify distinguish from lesions.Seventy-three cases were included study. The these analyzed. FNA smears with changes (300 colloid goiters, 290 adenomatoid nodules, 11 follicular neoplasms, 9 hurtle cell neoplasm) studied.The revealed...
To describe the cytologic findings of medulloblastomas on intraoperative crush preparation smears and compare them with other central nervous system tumors.The 19 cases medulloblastoma were studied (6 undifferentiated type 13 well-differentiated type). The compared those a control group consisting 31 astrocytomas, 22 ependymomas, 18 oligodendrogliomas, 27 meningiomas, 17 schwannomas, pituitary adenomas, 3 lymphomas, 5 hemangioblastomas, chordomas 11 metastatic tumors.Medulloblastomas...
To study fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytological findings of splenic lesions and assess the role FNA in diagnosis splenomegaly or tumours.This consisted 48 cases, 25 males 23 females. The ages ranged between 3 71 years. Most these cases were aspirated under ultrasonographic guidance a small number also directly by using 22- to 23-gauge needles. smears stained with Wright-Giemsa Papanicolaou methods. Special stains used whenever necessary.In this 14 diagnosed as lymphoma-leukaemia, 7...
Familial alveolar microlithiasis is a rare lung disease. In this study we describe the cytologic features of disease in bronchoalveolar lavage.A 10-year-old girl and her uncle, 50-year-old man, had dyspnea diffuse interstitial pattern on chest radiograph with no defined cause at period 10 years apart. Open biopsy transbronchial plus lavage (BAL) man were per-formed to determine diagnosis. cyopen diagnosis was microlithiasis. BAL revealed rehtypical microliths (calcospherites), th performed...
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid is a rare malignant tumor that needs to be distinguished from other neoplasms.Two males aged 65 and 68 years presented with an enlarged right lobe thyroid. Thyroid scintigraphy revealed cold nodule. Clinically malignancy was suspected. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) numerous clusters isolated cells, dyskeratotic cells deposits eosinophilic granular keratin material. Subtotal thyroidectomy performed. Histologic findings confirmed cytologic...
To determine the role of fine needle aspiration cytology in diagnosis extramedullary plasmacytoma.The study group consisted 13 patients with palpable masses at various sites. The tumors were aspirated for cytologic study.The smears revealed groups mature and immature plasma cells stages maturation. Mature showed an eccentric nucleus abundant, deep, basophilic cytoplasm a paranuclear halo. Plasmablasts (immature cells) prominent, single, large nucleolus no Binucleate multinucleate forms also...
In this report we summarize 5 cases of kala azar with disseminated dermal leishmaniasis. All had fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and skin lesions on admission. Maculopapular, pustular, maculonodular eruptions were present, located mainly the face extremities. Innumerable amastigotes demonstrated in bone marrow biopsies. patients responded to Glucantime therapy.
To describe the conjunctival scrape cytology findings in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).Conjunctival was performed to find cause of conjunctivitis 20 GVHD. All had ocular symptoms such as foreign body sensation, burning, tearing and red eye. Twenty age-matched bone marrow transplant recipient without GVHD were included a control group.Scraping yielded sufficient number cells. Cytologic atypical epithelial cells; loss goblet cells vacuolated or coarse, granular...
To study the cytologic findings of papillary breast carcinoma by fine needle aspiration.The group consisted aspiration (FNA) specimens tumors from nine patients performed during period 1988-1997. Eight were female, and one was male. The FNA results compared with final histologic diagnosis.The tumor sizes 4-6.5 cm. aspirations yielded a good amount bloody material. smears revealed high cellularity, clusters, isolated low-to-tall columnar cells, mild to moderate atypia, hemorrhagic background,...
Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is rare and most often seen in immunodeficient patients. The majority of these tumors are the non-Hodgkin type high grade. Burkitt CNS immunocompetent individuals has rarely been reported. authors treated a 49-year-old woman who presented with left-sided weakness that had lasted 1.5 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an oval mass left parietal region. necrosis peripheral edema, no attachment to leptomeninges or ependyma. Pathological...
Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a unique lesion of the spleen that arises from cells lining venous sinuses splenic red pulp and shows features combined endothelial histiocytic differentiation. Several cases LCA have been reported in literature; however, cytological findings described for only few cases. We report case an 11-year-old boy with anemia, epigastric abdominal pain, splenomegaly. The lesions showed anastomosing vascular channels cyst-like spaces filled by many sloughed cells, which...
To describe the conjunctival scrape cytology findings in Iraq-Iran war veterans exposed to mustard gas and detect malignant transformation at an early stage.Twenty-two male (29-54 years old) who were chemical bombing about 14 earlier, formed base of this study. All them had chronic eye problems, such as dryness, scarring decreased visual acuity. Conjunctival was performed for cytologic study.Among 22 cases scarring, 9 diagnosed dysplasia. Mild inflammation squamous metaplasia also noted....
Cystic lesions of the brain may have diverse etiologies, ranging from true cysts to malignant tumors with cystic degeneration. Preoperative determination exact nature them as well intraoperative diagnosis be sometimes difficult or even impossible. Sensitivity and specificity will improved by introducing new methods combining traditional procedures.Three metastatic carcinomas primary sites breast, pancreas prostate presented were confused clinically abscess. Intraoperative frozen section was...
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) the lymph nodes has been described rarely.LCH was confined to in six children. The FNA smears showed high cellularity composed many isolated cells (LCs) with nuclear grooves and intranuclear inclusions. Also seen were numerous eosinophils, lymphocytes, giant cells, dendriticlike macrophages Charcot-Leyden crystals a background eosinophilic granules. Immunohistochemical study revealed positive reaction S-100...
