Needle Aspiration Cytology

We report a case of metastatic endometrial carcinoma of the neck. A patient with a past medical history of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx, breast carcinoma and endometrial carcinoma presented with a neck mass. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed this to be a poorly differentiated carcinoma with squamoid features and thus a potentially curative neck dissection was performed. Histology of the mass showed a clear cell endometrial carcinoma. Metastatic gynacecological malignancies to the head and neck are rare and this is the first reported case of metastatic endometrial carcinoma in the neck.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

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.

Primary Retroperitoneal

Mullerian tumors are extremely rare malignancies in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of a 46-year old woman who presented with an eight year history of lower abdominal mass. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 15×10 cm cystic mass in the left lower retroperitoneum. As serial percutaneous needle aspiration cytology was negative for malignancy, she was observed for seven years. Eleven months ago, the mass was excised. The histopathology was reported as mucinous adenocarcinoma of the retroperitoneum. Six cycles of intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy was administered during the last six months after diagnosis of recurrence by aspiration cytology and high serum tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9). A few days ago, positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning showed evidence of local recurrence and single vertebral metastasis, so she was admitted again for systemic chemotherapy. Meticulous revision of additional sections of the tumor revealed papillary, serous, mucinous, and endometrioid subtypes of the mullerian adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge, there has been no similar case described in the literature.

ABSTRACT Schwannoma is a benign, encapsulated tumor that is derived from schwann's cells. The most common site is parapharyngeal space of the neck; oropharyngeal occurrence is extremely rare. Fourteen year male boy presented with a history of difficulty in swallowing, more for solids for the last 8 months. The patient also had a change of voice for the last 5 months and was muffled in character. Examination showed single lobulated mass having smooth surface, of the size of approximately 5 × 4 cm and was arising from the tonsillolingual sulcus. The fine needle aspiration cytology from the lesion, reported to be schwannoma. The mass was excised completely under general anesthesia with the help of bipolar cautery. We report first case of schwannoma of tonsillolingual sulcus and also review the literature of the rare entity.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

We describe the case of pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma in a 34-year-old asymptomatic man who presented with a pulmonary nodule apparent by chest radiography and computed tomography (CT). He had a history of previous treatment for tuberculosis. His laboratory data were normal. Bronchoscopy and CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration cytology were inconclusive. The diagnosis was revealed after the histopathological examination of an open lung biopsy.
