Needle Aspiration Cytology

Lymphoma of the female genital tract is a rare condition. Involvement of the ovary by non- Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is usually secondary to systemic disease and primary ovarian lymphomas are unusual. In most cases, the diagnosis is not suspected initially and is confirmed only after detailed histopathological evaluation. We describe two cases of primary ovarian NHL which were diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). One of the patients was a 40 years old female who presented with abdominal distension and lump. She was found to have bilateral adnexal masses on ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan. A USG guided fine needle aspiration of the ovarian masses was performed, following which a diagnosis of primary ovarian diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was established. The second patient was a 14 years old female who presented with pelvic lump, which was lobulated and mildly enhancing on contrast enhanced CT. A diagnosis of high grade NHL of ovaries was made on cytology. Subsequently, the lymphoma was characterized as Burkitt's on histopathological examination. Both the patients were started on R-CHOP chemotherapy regimen. FNAC serves as an extremely useful minimally invasive procedure for the diagnosis of ovarian lymphomas and early institution of appropriate chemotherapeutic regimens.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Cysticercosis, caused by cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form ofTaenia solium, is potentially a dangerous systemic disease with variable clinical manifestations. The disease most commonly involves subcutaneous and muscle tissues, followed by the eye and brain. Cysticercosis can be diagnosed by various radiologic means or by serology, both of which, however, are not definitive. Biopsy and histologic examination containing the cysticerci is the most definitive method of diagnosis. We report a case of cysticercosis in a 27-year-old male patient, who presented with a subcutaneous swelling in the back which was diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).

Objective: To determine the etiologic spectrum of cervical lymphadenopathy using fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in a tertiary care setting. Methods: In the present retrospective study, we presented the data of 1773 patients who presented in Multan Medical and Dental College within 11 years from Jan-2007 to Dec-2018. In all patients, FNAC was performed using a 22-23-gauge needle by using a 10 ml syringe. After collection specimens were sent to the hospital laboratory, the collected samples were stained using Papanicolaou stain, the Field’sbstain, and ZiehlaNeelsen (ZN) stain and acid-fast bacilli (AFB) for determination of the pattern of cervical lymphadenopathy. Specimen analysis was done in a private diagnostic center. Results: Mean age of study participants was 37.8±9.7 years. There were 1012 (57.07%) male patients and 761 (42.93%) female patients. Tuberculosis was diagnosed in 655 (36.9%) patients, metastasis in 349 (19.6%), reactive hyperplasia in 267 (15.0%), acute lymphadenitis in 193 (10.9%), lympho-proliferative lesions in 96 (5.4%), non-hodgkin lymphoma in 30 (1.69%), chronic infections in 18 (1.0%) and Hodgkin lymphoma in 11 (0.62%) patients. Conclusion: In the present study, cervical tuberculosis was the most common diagnosis found in 36.9% of cases, which present that tuberculosis is very common in our population. FNAC is easy and can be performed as a bedside procedure for the diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy. Keywords: Cervical lymphadenopathy, Fine needle aspiration cytology.
