Successful localisation of recurrent thyroid cancer using preoperative patent blue dye injection.

Purpose: In the follow-up of patients with thyroid cancer, recurrences are often detected, posing challenges in locating and removing these lesions in a reoperative setting. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of preoperative ultrasound (US)-guided injection of patent blue (PB) dye into the recurrences to aid in their safe and efficient removal.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we reviewed the records of the patients in a tertiary care centre between February 2019 and March 2023 who underwent US-guided PB injection in the endocrinology outpatient clinic before reoperative neck surgery.

Cutaneous Metastasis from Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Urinary Bladder.

Cutaneous metastases with a prevalence of 5.3% in all malignancies are rarely observed phenomena in dermatology. Bladder cancers constitute 0.

The first case of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma affecting the maxillary bone.

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is rare and malignant soft-tissue neoplasms that typically present in the extremities. In the literature, MIFS has been reported in the groin, back, neck, nose, and temporal regions in addition to the extremities. We report a case of MIFS presenting with the complaints of nasal bleeding, purulent nasal discharge, and swelling on the right side of his face.

The effectiveness of the Milan system for risk stratification of salivary gland lesions: The 10-year cytohistopathological correlation results of salivary gland FNA cytology at a tertiary center.

Background: The Milan system reporting salivary gland cytopathology (MSRSGC) is a tiered classification scheme that is based on risk stratification. The aim of the current study was to assess the risk of malignancy (ROM) and risk of neoplasia (RON) in each of the diagnostic categories proposed by the MSRSGC.

Methods: A retrospective analysis and categorization according to the MSRSGC was made of salivary gland fine needle aspirations (FNA) performed from January 2007 to December 2017.

Diagnosing atypia of undetermined significance in thyroid fine needle aspiration samples using nuclear scoring.

Background: Atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) is an indeterminate category in the Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology. Cytological features described as atypia are not always observed in every case, and it is difficult to determine how the small population of cells with enlarged nuclei, a few grooves, and rare elongated nuclei should be classified. Therefore, there is inter-intra observer variability considering these cell types, even though the cytological criteria are well defined.

Does smoking change expression patterns of the tumor suppressor and DNA repair genes in the prostate gland?

Objectives: Somatic mutations can be present in clonally expanded cell populations in nonmalignant tissues, which are detectable at tissue-level resolution. Some of the mutational changes may arise due to smoking. We aimed to find out changes in carcinogenic gene expressions related to smoking in nonmalignant prostate gland epithelia.

Ornidazole-induced fixed drug reaction on sole: case report and review of the literature.

Background: Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a special variant of drug reaction seen on skin or mucous membrane, and typically recurs at the same location. Ornidazole-induced FDE cases have been reported extremely rare.

Case: The 48-year-old female patient was diagnosed for ornidazole-induced fixed drug reaction on the sole.

A Rare Clinical Presentation of Giant Bilateral Labial Fibroepithelial Stromal Polyps in Patient with Psoriasis Disease.

Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are rarely seen lesions of the lower female genital tract with polypoid proliferations of stroma. These tumors usually present in the vulvovaginal region of the reproductive aged women. In this presentation, we report a case of a psoriatic woman who developed unusual multiple polypoid lesions approximately 15 cm in size arising from both left and right labia minora and unique connection of FEPs with psoriasis disease.
