Fine-needle aspiration cytology-based accurate and rapid diagnosis of breast tuberculosis mimicking an abscess.

A case of breast tuberculosis was initially misdiagnosed as a breast abscess and diagnosed definitively by minimally invasive fine-needle aspiration cytology. This definitive diagnosis enabled us to prevent widespread infection by early initiation of the standard anti-tuberculosis regimen. The patient recovered, and no disease recurrence was noted during follow-ups.

A rare case of patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 in a genotype-phenotype correlation revealing a submicroscopic deletion on the long arm of chromosome 17.

This paper details a case of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in a genotype-phenotype correlation, and the complexity of pathogenic variants of NF1 gene make correlation difficult. Establishing correlation is useful for targeted therapeutic intervention.
