Needle Aspiration Cytology

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.

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.

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.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Aim: Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm worldwide. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a minimally invasive, highly sensitive and cost effective investigation for breast lesions. The aim of our study was to evaluate the spectrum of fine needle aspiration cytology findings of breast lesions. Material and Methods: It was a prospective study conducted in the Department of Pathology during a 2 year period from Jun 2016- May 2018. A total of 284 patients with breast lesions were subjected to ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology. Result: The age of presentation ranged from 13 years to 81 years with a mean age of 34.9±13.5 years. Most common age group for breast lesions was in 21-30 age groups (39.1%). Fibro adenoma was the most common benign pathology (26.8%) followed by fibrocystic changes (26.4%). Malignancy was noted in 16.2% with majority in the 41-50 age groups. Parasitic infection was noted in 2 cases. Conclusion: Screening of breast lesions is warranted resulting in significant reduction of morbidity and mortality related to breast cancers. Fine needle cytology plays a pivotal role in the overall management of breast lesions.
