In this paper, we report a case of bilobed schwannoma, presented in the roof of orbit arising from supraorbital nerve. A 62-year male presented with a nontender mass in superior part of orbit and eccentric proptosis. Visual acuity and rest of ocular examination were normal. CT scan and MRI orbit revealed an extraconal homogenous bilobed mass, of size 3.5 to 2.5 cms in roof of orbit. Fine needle aspiration cytology was done, which was suggestive of schwannoma a peripheral nerve tumor. Successful surgical excision of intact bilobed schwannoma was done with careful separation and preservation of supraorbital nerve from which it was originated. Postoperative period was uneventful though rare, less than 1%, schwannoma can present as painless mass in the orbit and proptosis. Treatment of choice is surgical excision of intact tumor to prevent recurrence and preservation of peripheral nerve from which it arises.

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

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.

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.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

ABSTRACTIncisional endometriosis (IE) is a rare entity reported in 0.03–1.08% of women following obstetric or gynecologic surgeries. Most cases reported in literature have appeared after cesarean sections and were often clinically mistaken for hernia, abscess, suture granuloma or lipoma. We hereby report a case of IE following a second trimester hysterotomy, which was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Our patient was 26 years old, presenting with a mass over anterior abdominal wall, associated with incapacitating pain during each menstrual cycle. FNAC showed epithelial cells, stromal cells and hemosiderin laden macrophages. Based on the typical history, clinical and cytological features, the diagnosis of IE was established. Wide surgical excision was done and the resulting rectus sheath defect was repaired. Patient was followed for 6 months during which time she was symptom free. This article also reviews the spectrum of cytological features and the rare possibility of malignant transformation that can occur in IE.
