Pathologic Features

Abstract The gastrointestinal tract is an unusual site for teratomas to occur. Only 4 prior cases of teratomas involving the cecum have appeared in the English literature, the latest published in 1977. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe fine-needle aspiration cytologic findings in addition to histologic features of a mature cystic teratoma involving the gastrointestinal tract. A 30-year-old man presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass. Radiographic studies identified a mass lesion inferior to the liver and in close association with the ascending colon. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed scant keratinous material and anucleated squamous cells. Right colectomy revealed a cystic mass in the wall of the cecum that contained keratinous material and was lined by stratified granular squamous epithelium with sebaceous glands. Clinical and pathologic features with review of the literature are presented, and the differential diagnosis for pericolic cystic masses is discussed in detail.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

To study ten cases of toxoplasmic lymphadenitis (TL) in which the diagnosis was made by fine needle aspiration cytology and confirmed by subsequent serology. Retrospective study done over a period of five years. We retrieved ten cases of Toxoplasma lymphadenitis in which fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of lymph node was done after clinical examination. Serology with electrochemiluminescense was done in all the cases. The cytological features were characterised by microgranulomas, abundance of tingible body macrophages and absence of necrosis. Serologic testing for toxoplasma in all the cases revealed elevated titres. Lymphadenitis due to Toxoplasma infection should be considered in the diagnosis of unexplained lymphadenopathy at all sites, especially the cervical region. Serologic confirmation should be recommended for all suspected cases. FNAC diagnosis can eliminate the need for hospitalization and surgery. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is 5 case series of cytodiagnosis of TL in the English literature and 2 in the Indian literature. This is the largest case series of cytodiagnosis of TL in the Indian literature and 2 largest in the world literature next to the one done by Haque et al.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Crystalloid granuloma (CG) of salivary gland is an extremely rare inflammatory disease, and only 6 cases have been reported in the English literature. CG is histologically characterized by a granulomatous reaction to amylase crystalloid deposition. A 73-year-old woman presented with a painful left neck mass. Computed tomography depicted a mass located in the lower pole of the left parotid gland, suspicious for a tumoral lesion. Preoperative fine needle aspiration cytology found amylase crystalloid deposition with a few inflammatory cells. Surgical sections of the mass revealed formation of a granuloma containing abundant eosinophilic but glassy and transparent amorphous crystalloids, suggestive of α-amylase crystalloid. No neoplastic elements were detected. The case was eventually diagnosed with CG in the parotid gland. Our findings suggest that when we identify amylase crystalloids in fine needle aspiration cytology smears from the salivary gland, CG should be considered even if neoplasm is clinically or radiographically suspected.
