Cytologic Parameters in Predicting the Outcome of Atypical Glandular Cells on Papanicolaou Smears: A Single-Institutional Experience.

Background: Atypical glandular cells (AGCs) diagnosis on Pap (Papanicolaou) smears are uncommon and may represent various benign and malignant lesions.

Objective: This study aims to report the incidence of AGC on Pap smear, to study the relationship of AGC with malignancy, and to determine cytomorphological features that help in predicting malignancy.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analytical study conducted in the Department of Oncopathology at Tertiary Cancer and Research Institute.

International medullary thyroid carcinoma grading system: an Indian tertiary care centre experience.

Introduction: Medullary carcinoma (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine thyroid neoplasm. The international medullary thyroid carcinoma grading scheme (IMTCGS), which has prognostic significance, has been introduced recently. The present study graded MTC cases using the IMTCGS and evaluated it in our study cohort.

How useful are cervical Pap smears in detecting endometrial carcinomas? A tertiary cancer center experience.

Objective: To determine the role of routine cervical Pap smears in detecting endometrial carcinomas.

Method: A retrospective study was carried out from the histopathology archives for cases diagnosed as endometrial carcinomas with Pap smears within 6 months before histological diagnosis. The demographic details, reports of Pap smears and other tumor parameters on histopathology were noted.

Primary Synovial Sarcoma of the Kidney: A Rare Presentation.

Primary renal synovial sarcoma (PRSS) is a rare entity. It should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of spindle cell tumors of the kidney. Immunohistochemistry and genetic translocation studies should be used to confirm the diagnosis.

Atypical carcinoid of the esophagus.

Occurrence of carcinoid tumors in the esophagus is exceedingly rare. We present a case of an atypical carcinoid in the mid esophagus in a 56-year-old male, presenting with dysphagia. Esophagectomy was performed followed by postoperative chemotherapy.

Granular cell ameloblastoma of mandible.

Ameloblastoma is a neoplasm of odontogenic epithelium, especially of enamel organ-type tissue that has not undergone differentiation to the point of hard tissue formation. Granular cell ameloblastoma is a rare condition, accounting for 3-5% of all ameloblastoma cases. A 30-year-old female patient presented with the chief complaint of swelling at the right lower jaw region since 1 year.
