Flat epithelial atypia with and without atypical ductal hyperplasia: to re-excise or not. Results of a 5-year prospective study.

Flat epithelial atypia (FEA) of the breast have a tendency to calcify and, as such, are becoming increasingly detected by mammography. There is no consensus yet on whether to excise these lesions or not after diagnosis on core needle biopsies (CNB). We reviewed 3,948 cases of breast CNB between June 2004 and June 2009 correlating histomorphologic, radiological, and clinical features.

Fine-needle aspiration cytology of intra-abdominal wall extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma: a case report and review of the literature.

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor. Most of the reported cases that were diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration were taken from the extremities, where the tumor is often found. Problems can occur when the site is unusual and cellular differentiation is not distinct.

Prophylactic amnioinfusion for intrapartum oligohydramnios: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of intrapartum prophylactic amnioinfusion in pregnancies complicated by oligohydramnios.

Data Sources: Randomized controlled trials of prophylactic amnioinfusion in women with oligohydramnios were identified using computerized databases, index reviews, and references cited in original studies and review articles.

Methods Of Study Selection: We evaluated, abstracted data from, and analyzed randomized studies of prophylactic intrapartum amnioinfusion in women with oligohydramnios.

Intrapartum amnioinfusion for meconium-stained fluid: meta-analysis of prospective clinical trials.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of intrapartum prophylactic amnioinfusion in pregnancies complicated by meconium-stained amniotic fluid.

Data Sources: We identified prospective clinical trials of amnioinfusion in pregnancies complicated by meconium-stained amniotic fluid (AF) published in English by using computerized databases, references in published studies, and index reviews.

Methods Of Study Selection: We analyzed prospective studies of intrapartum amnioinfusion for meconium-stained AF.
