AbstractThe case of a minor salivary gland tumour, arising from the tongue, with nodal metastasis is presented. Biopsy of the tumour and fine-needle aspiration cytology of the neck swelling showed the presence of a clear cell carcinoma with evidence of nodal metastases. A commando operation was performed and the defect was reconstructed using a local tongue flap. The literature review indicated that the neoplasm was rare and its site of occurrence rather unusual.

AbstractMalignant change arising in pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands is uncommon, with a reported incidence of 2–10 per cent.Only one case where a pleomorphic adenoma became a clear cell carcinoma appears to have been published in the English literature. An additional case of clear cell carcinoma arising in pleomorphic adenoma of a minor salivary gland is reported and the relevant literature discussed.

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) usually affects minor salivary glands. It rarely occurs in major salivary glands. HCCCis difficult to diagnose in Fine Needle Aspiration cytology (FNAC). The possibility of metastasis from other primary sites should be rejected during the management of these tumors. An elderly manpresented with insidious onset, and gradual progressive painless swelling arising from the deep lobe of the parotid gland. FNAC, which was performedtwice with UltrasoundGuidance(USG), could not provide much detail about the type of tumor. Total conservative parotidectomy was conducted. These rare tumors cause significant challenges to physicians. Thehigh index of suspicion and combined efforts ofthe multidisciplinary team are pivotal in management.

A case of renal clear-cell carcinoma presenting as a nodular thyroid metastasis is reported. The possibility of a metastatic lesion from the kidney should be taken into account in each case of clear-cell thyroid lesion. Fine needle aspiration cytology may be unable to discriminate between the renal or thyroid origin of such lesions unless PAS staining is performed.

AbstractBackground:Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma is a rare minor salivary gland neoplasm. The treatment of choice is surgical resection with or without post-operative radiotherapy. This tumour often demonstrates a good prognosis.Case report:We report a case of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma arising in the nasopharynx. A 27-year-old female presented with progressive hearing disturbance and tinnitus. On examination, an expansile mass was observed in her nasopharynx. Biopsy was performed and the pathology results returned as clear cell carcinoma.Results and conclusion:Surgical resection was performed trans-orally accompanied by trans-palatal approach. She has no recurrence during more than two years of follow up.

Objective: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) based on a liquid-based preparation is a safe and valuable diagnostic tool. However, due to unfamiliarity with this method and the considerably altered morphology that is associated with it, diagnosing renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from this type of preparation remains a challenge for cytopathologists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytomorphological characteristics of SurePath™ (SP)-based preparations compared with conventional smear (CS), and also the role of SP-based FNAC in the diagnosis of clear-cell RCC (CRCC), the most common primary renal malignancy. Study Design: Ex vivo FNAC of both tumors and normal renal parenchyma was prepared from 73 cases. Comparative cytomorphological analysis between liquid-based cytology (LBC) and CS as well as Fuhrman nuclear grading (FNG) was carried out. Immunocytochemistry was performed from normal and CRCC cytology specimens. Results: Normal renal cytology (NRC) showed no significant morphological differences between LBC and CS. For CRCC, LBC showed small, fragmented cell clusters, a 3-dimensional configuration, distinct cytoplasmic vacuoles, and irregular nuclear contours when compared with CS. FNG was overgraded with LBC compared to with CS. AMACR was the most valuable immunocytochemical marker for distinguishing CRCC from NRC. Conclusion: Once cytopathologists become familiar with the altered cytomorphological features of CRCC, FNAC, along with immunocytochemistry, may prove helpful for diagnosis.
