The role of deeper levels and ancillary studies (p16(Ink4a) and ProExC) in reducing the discordance rate of Papanicolaou findings of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and follow-up cervical biopsies.

Background: Discordant results of cervical biopsy histology after a cytologic diagnosis of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) are often attributed to sampling variation. The purpose of the current study was to determine whether deeper levels and ancillary staining (p16(Ink4a) and ProExC) reduce the discordant rate.

Methods: A total of 246 cases of HSIL were retrieved from the computerized database from 2005 and 2006.

Pulmonary sequestration with CCAM type II appearing as adrenal tumor protruding through a Bochdalek hernia.

A case of a pulmonary sequestration, which almost exclusively consisted of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation type II located subdiaphragmatically in the left retroperitoneal area, is reported. This case, in a 24-year-old male patient, is unique in that it appeared as an adrenal incidentaloma and extended through a Bochdalek hernia into the pleural space. It was discovered upon routine ultrasound screening for hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with a carrier state for hepatitis B.
