Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Ovarian Tumors With Histopathological Correlation: A Revisit to Borderline Category.

Background: Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) comprise 15%-20% of all ovarian epithelial malignancies. The majority of them are serous tumors followed by mucinous tumors. Pre-operative cytological diagnosis plays an important role with histopathology being the gold standard.

Role of CD44 as cancer stem cell marker in triple-negative breast cancer and its association with histological grade and angiogenesis.

Introduction: Cancer stem cells (CSC) within the tumors play a central role in tumorigenesis. It is, thus, of utmost importance to identify these cells to develop effective cancer therapy. Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive molecular subtype of breast cancer associated with poor patient outcomes.

Categorisation of peritoneal serous effusions using the International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology-A study on gynaecological samples.

Background: Cytology of serous effusions is an indispensable diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of non-neoplastic as well as neoplastic effusions, aiding in the categorisation, staging, and prognostication of the patient. This study focuses on reclassifying cases of peritoneal fluid cytology following the International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (TIS), highlighting various challenges encountered and adding to the body of data regarding the risk of malignancy (ROM), focussing on peritoneal effusions due to gynaecological causes.

Methods: Peritoneal effusion samples were retrieved from our department's archives and reclassified according to the TIS.

Fine-needle aspiration cytology in soft tissue tumors-5-year institutional experience.

Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) forms one of the first-line investigations in the evaluation of tumors in modern era. Its role in diagnosing soft tissue tumors (STT) has been well established. However, the morphological overlap and biological heterogeneity of STT pose a morphological diagnostic challenge.

Cytological diagnosis of bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma with cutaneous involvement.

Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is an extremely rare condition. We describe here, a case of bilateral adrenal lymphoma in a 62-year-old man. He later developed subcutaneous masses on the hand and the leg.

Cytological diagnosis of amyloidosis presenting as a supraclavicular swelling.

Amyloidosis is a well-recognized entity, that can present as a systemic disease, or, uncommonly, as a localized mass. We report here, a rare presentation of amyloidosis presenting as a supraclavicular swelling, diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology. Subsequent bone marrow examination led to the diagnosis of multiple myeloma.
