Oncocytic Lesions of Salivary Glands: Morphological, Immunohistochemical, and Molecular Findings.

The fifth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification introduces new diagnostic methods based on genetic alterations, providing insight into the molecular basis of lesions. As a result, the classification system has evolved, new entities have been introduced, and existing entities have been reclassified. Oncocytic lesions of salivary glands are a group of neoplastic conditions characterized by the presence of oncocytic cells.

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology's Role in the Diagnosis of Ovarian Tumor.

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a cost-effective, minimally invasive technique for diagnosing a wide range of benign and malignant lesions. However, there are a number of reasons why its use is limited in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, such as the fear of tumor cells spilling into the peritoneal cavity and the difficulty of subtyping with cytology alone. In experienced hands, FNAC is a safe, cost-effective procedure with acceptable diagnostic accuracy.

Primary paratesticular embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma - An unusual presentation.

Paratesticular embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a very rare and aggressive mesenchymal tumor. It is usually seen in children and adolescents presenting as a painless intrascrotal mass, localized in the paratesticular region. Hereby, we report two cases of paratesticular embryonal RMS in adults.

Management of traumatic displacement of LASIK flap.

Background: Although flap-based laser refractive surgeries are being extensively performed worldwide, complications due to the flap may occur years after the procedure leading to severe vision-threatening complications.

Purpose: To describe the management of a case of traumatic displacement of a LASIK flap performed 8 years earlier.

Synopsis: A 42-year-old male presented to us with complaints of decreased vision in his left eye following trauma with a toy gun sustained a day earlier.

Study of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) of Thyroid Gland According to the Bethesda System.

Background:  Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid gland is a powerful diagnostic tool for thyroid nodules. The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) classifies thyroid FNAC findings into six categories. It is a standardized, simple, and convenient method of reporting which also provides guidelines for management.

The Implication of New Developments in Hemophilia Treatment on Its Laboratory Evaluation.

Laboratories monitor hemophilia replacement therapy by specific coagulation factor measurement before and after the infusion of human-derived or recombinant factors. Bypassing agents are now used for patients with inhibitors. Recently, modified long-acting coagulation factors have been introduced, for which discrepant results may be expected when the measurement is performed with one-stage clotting or chromogenic assays.

Lipid-rich carcinoid of the appendix: A case report with review of literature.

The carcinoids are the most frequent tumors arising from the appendix, in majority of the cases, these are asymptomatic and are discovered after appendectomy. The lipid-rich carcinoid, also known as clear cell carcinoid; is histologically characterized by the presence of clear vacuoles in the cytoplasm of tumor cells. Only 24 cases of lipid-rich carcinoid of the appendix are described in the English literature, and there is no report of this entity in the Indian literature.
