Intraoperative peritoneal cytology for cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma: Cytopathology and clinical impact.

Background: The objective of this study was to elucidate the frequency and cytologic features of positive peritoneal washing cytology (PWC) in cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) and to clarify the clinical significance of positive PWC.

Methods: The authors analyzed cases from their institution between 1991 and 2023 in which patients underwent surgery and PWC. The study included 62 patients who had cervical GAS (1991-2023; including seven patients with adenocarcinoma in situ and 26, 15, nine, and five patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 stage I, II, III, and IV disease, respectively) and 100 patients who had usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (2007-2023; including 65, 15, and 20 patients with stage I, II, and III disease, respectively).

Primary pulmonary meningioma: A rare case report of aspiration cytological features and immunohistochemical assessment.

Ectopic meningioma is a generally rare type of benign tumor that very rarely occurs in the lung. Here, we report the cytological findings of a primary pulmonary meningioma with a particular focus on immunohistochemical (IHC) assessment. A healthy 60-year-old woman visited our hospital with an asymptomatic nodule in the right lower lung lobe.
