Abstract:Ganglioneuroma is a benign tumor that originates from primordial neural crest cells which migrate from the mantle layer of the developing spinal cord to the sympathetic ganglia, adrenal medulla, and other sites. The most affected anatomical sites are the posterior mediastinum, retroperitoneum, adrenal gland, head and neck. It occurs most commonly in children over 10 years of age and consists of ganglion and Schwann cells. We report a case of 9 – year- old male child who presented with mass per abdomen in the right hypochondrium. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed mature ganglion cells and cluster of Schwann cells suggestive of Ganglioneuroma. Cytology diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of tru-cut biopsy and subsequently excised specimen. On regular follow he is doing fine without any symptoms.

Tuberculosis of thyroid gland is a rare entity even in countries with high prevalence of tuberculosis. The diagnosis of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in the rare sites like thyroid, pancreas, striated and cardiac muscles is difcult. Thyroid tuberculosis, if at all present, is more commonly associated with either miliary or disseminated tuberculosis or with contagious involvement from adjacent viscera and vertebral body. Hence, for an accurate diagnosis of thyroid tuberculosis, pathological examination with demonstration of acid-fast bacilli is important along with a proper clinico-radiological evaluation. Herein we report a case of 30-year-old male with swelling on the right side of neck who presented with a “solitary thyroid nodule” on ultrasound and “colloid” in ne needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) with scattered epithelioid like cells along with benign follicular epithelial cells. However, no denitive diagnosis could be given on cytology due to pauci-cellularity. Tuberculous thyroiditis was diagnosed on histopathology since the patient underwent right hemithyroidectomy for right side solitary nodule. The patient was started on Anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) and had no complications in 6 months follow up period. Although rare, thyroid tuberculosis should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules, even in patients with no history and symptoms of TB disease elsewhere specially in TB endemic areas.

Painless Mass

Desmoid tumours are rare lesions which has a strong tendency to invade locally and to recur. They constitute 3% of all soft tissue tumours and 0.03% of all neoplasms. These tumours are commonly seen in women of fertile age, especially during and after pregnancy. We report a case of thirty year old female patient presenting with a painless mass in the anterior abdominal wall with past history of abdominal surgery 8 years back. Ultrasonography revealed a solid, heterogenous hypoechoic lesion within abdominal wall. On Fine needle aspiration cytology of the mass, spindle cell tumour suggestive of desmoid tumour was diagnosed. Wide local excision of the affected abdominal wall mass was performed and the defect was replaced with a polypropylene mesh. The specimen was sent for histopathological examination where cytological diagnosis was conrmed as desmoid tumour of anterior abdominal wall.

Extra skeletal soft tissue chondroma (ESSC) is very rare slowly growing benign tumours usually occur in hands and feet. Lesion must be differentiated from other benign and malignant lesions in these locations by clinical, radiological, cytological and histopathological examination for proper management of such benign entity. A case is presenting here in a thirty five years old lady suffering from similar type of lesion over right thumb diagnosed preoperatively by fine needle aspiration cytology because of rarity. Diagnosis was confirmed by surgical excision and histopathological examination.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 03 July’18. Page : 164-166

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Cysticercosis is a systemic parasitic disease caused by the larval form of cestodeT. solium. It has a worldwide distribution and is potentially harmful with variable clinical manifestations. The patient most commonly presents with subcutaneous and muscle involvement in the form of nodular lesions. The other most commonly involved sites include eye, brain, bladder wall, and heart. Cysticercosis can be diagnosed on serology, and radiologically but confirmatory diagnosis is based on histopathological examination of the involved tissue biopsy specimen. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a useful low-cost outpatient procedure tool for preoperative diagnosis of cysticercosis and is absolutely essential for diagnosis of the parasitic lesions in a peripheral hospital, one like ours.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Diseases of the thyroid continue to be a common clinical problem having a prevalence rate of 4 to 7% in the general population.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This retrospective study was conducted in the Department of ENT, Head and Neck Surgery, SMGS Hospital, Jammu from January 2018 to January 2020. A thorough history taking, meticulous clinical examination, routine hematological and biochemical investigations were done in all the patients. General examination of the patient was done and looked for thyroid functional abnormality followed by local examination was carried out to locate and identify the site of the swelling, shape, size and consistency of the thyroid swelling and clinical diagnosis was made. All thyroid swelling cases were subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The type of thyroidectomy is based on the size and type of thyroid whether neoplastic or non-neoplastic. All the specimens were sent for histopathological examination.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Out of 60 patients in the study, 56 were females and only 4 were males. The most common age group was 31 to 40 years seen in 24 (40%) patients. The most common presenting symptom was swelling in the neck seen in 58 (96.67%) patients. The most common diagnosis on FNAC was colloid goiter seen in 40 (66.67%) patients. The most common was benign nodular colloid goiter seen in 35 (58.33%) patients.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Fine needle aspiration is a very useful and indispensible test in the diagnosis of thyroid lesions.</p>

Breast cancer has been considered a female dominated disease. Carcinoma of male breast is a rare disease representing 1% of all breast cancers and less than 1 % of all cancers in men. The mean age at presentation is mainly in sixties. We here present a case of male breast cancer presented at very young age of 29 years, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration which was confirmed later on histopathological examination.

ABSTRACT Extramedullary noncutaneous plasmacytoma (ENP) is a myeloproliferative disorder of plasma cells that rarely affects cats. This paper describes an ENP case revealed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the mass in the skeletal muscle of an 8-month-old, male, mixed breed cat, which had a nodule in the left hind limb. The rapid immunoassay test confirmed the presence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV). The animal necropsy macroscopically showed the nodule came from the semimembranosus muscle. Histopathological examination ratified the cytological findings. Thus, this paper alerts to the existence of plasmacytoma located in the skeletal muscle of feline species. FNAC is a quick and efficient method for diagnosis of ENP.

ABSTRACTCutaneous myxomas are rare benign neoplasms which are frequently associated with Carney complex (CNC). Although more than 500 cases of CNC are reported, there is no literature on cytologic diagnosis of Cutaneous myxomas. An 18-year-old male, with no significant family history, presented with multiple cutaneous swellings, largest measuring 15 cm on the right cheek. He also had spotty skin pigmentations, raised adrenocorticotropic hormone levels and recurrent cardiac myxomas. Fine-needle aspiration cytology from the right cheek and suprapubic swellings revealed paucicellular smears with abundant myxoid material in the background, admixed with fragments of spindle and stellate cells with bland nuclear morphology, and vascular proliferation in few fragments. There was no mitosis, necrosis, or any epithelial element. Hence, diagnosis of cutaneous myxomas in CNC was made which was confirmed on histopathology. This is the first report of cytologic diagnosis of multiple cutaneous myxomas in CNC and the largest cutaneous myxoma reported in literature.
