Inter- and intra-observer concordance of cyberpathology in twenty-five cases.

To study the feasibility of anatomical pathology consultation in cyberspace (cyberpathology) and to determine inter- and intra-observer concordance. Twenty-five consecutive cytology and histopathology cases are photographed using a digital camera placed against the eyepiece, and uploaded to an image-server in the Internet. Participants view the images, rate their confidence, and provide a diagnosis.

Cervical Cancer Screening for the Reluctant - HPV Testing of Air-Dried Vaginal Discharge.

Despite the availability of the PAP test, cervical cancer continues to cause considerable morbidity and mortality. Many women default cervical cytology for a variety of reasons. This demands the development of alternative screening strategies, such as HPV testing on self-procured cervical-vaginal specimens in order to capture this group of women.

T-cell/histiocyte-rich diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Report of a case diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy with immunohistochemical and molecular pathologic correlation.

Background: T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma (TCRBL) is a lymphoma of B-cell type associated with a prominent component of T cells (constituting > 50% of the cellular population). We report the first case of TCRBL diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA). It was confirmed by subsequent lymph node excision biopsy.

Clear-cell sarcoma diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration: cytologic, histologic, and ultrastructural features; potential pitfalls; and literature review.

A definitive diagnosis of clear-cell sarcoma of soft parts (CCSSP) is possible by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy alone. The aspirates are markedly cellular, consisting predominantly of discohesive cells but also of cohesive cells. The cytoplasm is eosinophilic and eccentric.
