Methods: We studied 146 cases in which cytology and histology were performed when undertaking pancreatic EUS-FNA/FNB and the final histological diagnosis was obtained from surgically resected samples. Cytological, histological, and combined diagnoses with cytology and histology (combined diagnosis) detected malignant including suspected malignancy, indeterminate, and benign lesions.
Ovarian gonadoblastoma coexisting with a dysgerminoma is extremely rare in patients with Turner syndrome (TS) and a Y chromosome. The cytological findings, including imprint cytology, of these unusual ovarian tumors have rarely been reported. We report a rare patient with a gonadoblastoma with dysgerminoma, 3.

Case: We report a rare case of a malignant ovarian SCT with peritoneal dissemination and malignant ascites in a 40-year-old woman.
