Cytological findings of microfilariae in different sites: A retrospective review of 22 cases from endemic region.

Background: Filariasis is a major health problem in India. Despite the high prevalence, microfilariae are rarely found in cytology smears. Most of the cases are incidentally found, solely or in association with other pathologies.

Placental Mesenchymal Dysplasia With Normal Fetus: A Rare Case Report.

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare benign placental abnormality. It is characterized by hydropic degeneration of stem villi, placentomegaly, and increased maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). It can be associated with different congenital abnormalities, karyotype abnormalities, and feto-maternal morbidities.

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Basal Cell Adenoma of Parotid Simulating Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.

Basal cell adenoma is a rare type of monomorphic salivary adenoma most commonly involving the parotid gland. Cytology of basal cell adenoma closely mimics many other benign and malignant basaloid neoplasms. Cytological features of membranous basal cell adenoma simulate adenoid cystic carcinoma in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears.

Microfilaria in pleural fluid cytology: A rare finding.

Lymphatic filariasis is endemic in India and Southeast Asia. Detection of microfilaria is infrequently reported during cytological evaluation of various lesions or body cavity fluids. Presence of microfilaria in pleural fluid cytology is very rare finding even in endemic areas.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of cylindroma of scalp: A case report.

Cylindromas are uncommon benign adnexal tumor. Multiple cylindromas are commonly genetically inherited and also known as "turban tumor." Cytology of dermal cylindroma is rarely discussed in previous literature.
