Cytological Features of "Non-Invasive Follicular Tumour with Papillary like Nuclear Features" - A Single Institutional Experience in India.

Background: The term noninvasive follicular tumor with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) was introduced as a surrogate for noninvasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma with a defined set of histopathologic criteria. There are very few studies depicting the cytological cues for the diagnosis of NIFTP. The objective of the study was to determine the spectrum of cytological features in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears of cases histopathologically diagnosed as NIFTP.

Recurrent Cylindroma of the Scalp: A Cytomorphological Evaluation at Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.

Specific diagnosis of adnexal tumours at fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is challenging. In a recurrent scalp tumour, a startling array of lesions ranging from benign to malignant tumours fall into differential diagnosis. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is essential for planning management and to improve clinical outcome.

Evaluation of Accuracy of Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytology: Review of Morphology and Diagnostic Challenges in Each Category.

Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in salivary gland lesions is challenging for the cytopathologists due to diverse morphological pattern and overlapping morphologic features which are responsible for the pitfalls. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the Milan system in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions and to discuss and review the morphology and diagnostic challenges in individual Milan categories.

Materials And Methods: The study was a retrospective diagnostic analytical study in the department of pathology at a tertiary care hospital attached to medical college over a duration of 2 years.

Primary follicular lymphoma of ileum [corrected] disguised as multiple miliary like lesions: A case report and review of literature.

Primary follicular lymphoma (PFL) of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is rare and account for 1%-3% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Within the small intestine, the PFL is more common in jejunum than in the ileum. Due to low prevalence of the disease, the clinical manifestations are not well known, and diagnosis is usually delayed leading to complications.

Infection Masquerading as a Soft Tissue Tumour Diagnosed by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.

A 60-year-old male, diabetic presented with a soft tissue mass over the right forearm of 15 days duration. The swelling was 5 x 3 cm and a clinical diagnosis of neurofibroma was made. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) was done using standard technique.

Cytomorphologic Attributes of Epithelial Myoepithelial Carcinoma of Nasal Cavity - A Rare Tumor with Unusual Clinical Presentation.

Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma (EMC) is a rare low grade epithelial malignancy of major Salivary Glands (SG). Though the histomorphology of this tumor is distinct, unusual location and clinical presentation may pose diagnostic difficulties especially when this lesion is first encountered at cytology. We report a case of 60-year-old female presenting with nasal obstruction of three months duration.

Co-Existence of Acinic Cell Carcinoma - Papillary Cystic Variant and Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis - Report of A Case with Brief Review.

Tuberculosis (TB) and cancer are two lethal diseases causing significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries like India. Co-existence of these two disease lead to diagnostic dielemma among the clinicians. Overlapping clinical manifestations lead to delay in diagnosis.

Retiform hemangioendothelioma: an uncommon pediatric vascular neoplasm.

Retiform hemangioendothelioma is considered as a low grade angiosarcoma, commonly seen in 2(nd)-4(th) decade of life. The youngest patient reported is of 9 years of age. A 9-year-old boy was presented with an asymptomatic red patch on the chest since 1 year.

Primary laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinoma - a rare entity with deviant clinical presentation.

Primary laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinomas are rare neoplasms. WHO classifies them under five categories of which, the moderately differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma is synonymous with atypical or malignant carcinoid tumour. We report a rare case of primary laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinoma with an unusual and misleading clinical presentation.

Primary mucinous eccrine adenocarcinoma - a rare malignant cutaneous adnexal neoplasm at an unconventional site.

Primary mucinous eccrine adenocarcinoma, a rare malignant neoplasm of the skin adnexa usually occurs in the head and neck region. The most common sites for its occurrence are the eyelid, the peri-orbital region and the scalp. We report the rare occurrence of primary mucinous eccrine adenocarcinoma of the inguinal region which has been reported in only 1% of cases according to literature search.

Sclerosing peritonitis occurring in association with juvenile granulosa cell tumour - a cause of concern.

Sclerosing Peritonitis (SP) is characterized by fibrous thickening and adhesions of the peritoneum and it is encountered frequently in association with peritoneal dialysis, practolol and anticonvulsant therapy. Rarely does it present as a gynaecological complication, most commonly in conjunction with luteinized thecoma of ovary. Very rarely has sclerosing peritonitis been reported to occur with ovarian cystic teratoma and a luteinized variant of adult granulosa cell tumour, among which only one case has been reported in the English literature.

Rippled pattern extraocular sebaceous carcinoma: a rare case report with brief review of literature.

Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a highly aggressive malignant adnexal tumor of sebaceous gland origin, accounting for less than 1% of cutaneous. Extraocular sebaceous carcinomas are more aggressive than their ocular counterpart with a predilection for the skin of head and neck, trunk, salivary glands and extremities in decreasing order of frequency. Rippled effect literally means "gradually spreading effect".

Benign triton tumor: a rare entity in head and neck region.

Benign triton tumors (BTT) are very rare lesions composed of mature skeletal muscle and neural tissue. We report a case of a 14-year-old boy who presented with asymptomatic swelling of the chin over an 18-month duration which increased gradually to involve the left side of the lower lip. Clinically, a diagnosis of neurofibroma was made.

Coexistent extra adrenal pheochromocytoma and extrapulmonary tuberculosis: a case report and review of literature.

Tuberculosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developing countries, accounting for two billion infected cases and 1.7 million deaths which were attributed to it in 2006, as per the WHO. Cancer was the leading cause of death, next only to coronary artery disease, with 11.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of unilesional mycosis fungoides d'emblee.

Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder accounting for 2% of all lymphomas. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare, albeit commonest form of primary cutaneous T cell lymphoma. MF d'emblee is an uncommon variant which is easily mistaken clinically for epithelial malignancy.
