Cysticercosis cellulosae is a systemic parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of pork tapeworm, taenia solium which involve humans as either a denitive or secondary host. It is a common disease in developing countries. The cases presenting as an isolated muscle mass is an extremely rare entity and demands documentation. Herein, we present a case of healthy pediatric patient who presented with unilateral cheek swelling which on ultrasound suggested a benign cystic lesion. The diagnosis was conrmed on ne needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).

  Introduction: Neurilemmoma or Schwannomas are benign tumour arising from the nerve sheath of myelinated nerve. Head neck neurilemmomas are not uncommon but intraoral region is very uncommon for this type of tumour. Case Report: A very rare case of buccal neurilemmoma in an eleven year old child, but much larger than other reported case is reported in the present article with review of literature. Discussion: Among the intraoral subsites, very few cases of neurilemmoma are reported to be situated in the buccal mucosa. Diagnostic dilemmas due to Fine needle aspiration cytology with features often resembling that of pleomorphic salivary adenomas are reported. The size of the tumour was larger than the cases reported in literature till date. The age of the patient was also much younger than the other reported cases, which made the present case unique.

Genitourinary tuberculosis is the second most common extrapulmonary tuberculosis (ETB), after lymph nodes. Isolated tuberculous epididymitis (ITE) is a rare entity among genitourinary tuberculosis and is defined as epididymitis without clinical evidence of either renal or prostate involvement. We present a case of epididymal tuberculosis in a 26 year old male which presented as a right scrotal mass. We discussed this case to emphasize that tuberculous etiology should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of scrotal mass besides malignancy, and an image guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and stain for acid fast bacilli (AFB) play crucial role in diagnosis and treatment.

Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the Central Nervous System caused by Taenia solium. Spinal cysticercosis is an uncommon site of cysticercal infestation & intramedullary involvement is even rarer.1 We are reporting a rare case of intramedullary cysticercosis in the cervical region in an 11 year old girl who presented with headache & neck stiffness. CT and MRI of the cervical spine done revealed a cystic lesion with mural nodule (scolex) with cord edema in the cervical region. The child underwent treatment with antihelminthic drugs and showed marked clinico-radiological improvement.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njr.v4i1.11373 Nepalese Journal of Radiology, Vol.4(1) 2014: 63-66

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.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

All breast lesions are not malignant, and all the benign lesions do not progress to cancer; however the accuracy of diagnosis can be increased by a combination of preoperative tests. About 30% of women suffer from breast disease in their lifetime. The main objectives are to explore the role of FNAC in diagnosis of breast disease at different ages. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has become a critical component in the investigation of palpable breast masses. Total 208 cases included in this study at Comilla. The data was formulated and analyzed by SPSS-12. 79(37.98%) cases were at the age of 21-30 years and next one was 11-20 years which was 48(23.07%). Among them 40(19.23%) cases were   malignant and 168(80.77%) cases were benign in nature. The incidence of malignancy was increased with relation to age. As the age is more chance of malignancy is more. In benign types fibroadenoma was the common disease then the duct cell carcinoma, fibrocystic change, suppurative   inflammation respectively. The findings were 43.75%, 19.23%, 18.27% and 8.65%.In conclusion, fine needle aspiration cytology, for diagnosis of breast lump can reduce the number of open biopsy and   surgery.
