Comparative analysis of cytomorphology of thyroid lesion on conventional cytology versus liquid-based cytology and categorize the lesions according to The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology.

Introduction: Thyroid nodules are a common disorder of the thyroid. Most of these are benign and only 5%-30% are malignant. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays a vital role in differentiating benign from malignant and hence directing toward timely intervention.

Diagnostic Role of Calretinin in Suspicious Cases of Hirschsprung's Disease.

Background Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a developmental disorder of the intrinsic component of the enteric nervous system. It is characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexus. Histopathological diagnosis becomes difficult many times due to submucosal ganglionic cells are not easily identifiable.

Cylindroma of the breast: a rare case report.

Cylindroma is a benign adnexal tumor, which occurs as solitary dermal nodules on the scalp and forehead. Cylindroma of the breast is a rare lesion. Fine-needle aspiration is often the first line of investigation.

Cytological diagnosis of parasites presenting as superficial nodular swelling: report of 35 cases.

Parasitic infestation often present with superficial nodular swelling. Fine needle aspiration cytology plays an important role in prompt diagnosis of the disease. To study the role of FNAC in the diagnosis of parasites presenting as skin or subcutaneous nodules.

Erythema nodosum leprosum: report of two cases.

Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) or type 2 lepra reaction is an inflammatory reaction, which may occur in the course of hanseniasis, may compel the patient to seek medical attention and may result in nerve function impairment and subsequent disability. Thus, recognition and timely management of these patients is critical in order to avoid permanent disability. Fine-needle aspiration cytology is simple and effective tool that aids in the correct diagnosis and management of ENL.
