The study was performed on orchidectomized tissue and testicular biopsies sent for histopathological examination which included; 9 cases of orchitis, 6 pyocele, 9 haematocele, 13 seminomas, 5 embryonal cell carcinoma, 2 teratocarcinoma, 2 lymphoma, 4 yolk sac tumor, 17 infertility lesions and 6 normal. Toluidine blue stained sections were examined under high power magnification (hpm) and the number of mast cell present in 10 consecutive fields was counted. There was a considerable variation in the number and distribution of mast cells in various testicular lesions.

- This study aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding breast diseases in the Northern region of Saudi Arabia by analyzing records from 708 patients over eight years, categorizing findings into benign, inflammatory, malignant, congenital, and functional cases.
- The results show that benign breast diseases are the most common (48.9%), followed by inflammatory diseases (42.5%), and breast cancer (8.6%), with fibroadenoma being the most prevalent benign condition and ductal carcinoma being the most common cancer.
- The study concludes that, while most breast diseases are benign, some have a potential cancer risk, and emphasizes the need for educational programs to raise awareness about breast health, especially given that advanced cancer cases
Objective: To study the value of fine needle aspiration (FNA) in the diagnosis of head and neck masses in a secondary care hospital.
Study Design: FNA from 225 patients with head and neck masses were reviewed. The results were analyzed, according to anatomic location, into 3 groups: inflammatory, congenital and neoplastic.
Our objectives were to study the types and incidence of thyroid follicular lesions coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), the pitfalls in their cytodiagnosis, and the effect on management. All cases of HT diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and/or histology over a 7-yr period were retrospectively studied. HT coexisted with follicular adenoma (FA) in 6 cases, follicular variant of papillary carcinoma (FVPC) in 1 case, and goitrous nodule (GN) in 2 cases.

The aim of this study was to find simple cytological criteria using routine stains that can help in differentiating between these entities. All fine-needle aspiration (FNA) smears of metastatic NPC, SCC, HL, and NHL from neck nodes available in our files were included in this study.
