Endometrial Aspiration Cytology: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study of Its Efficacy and Sensitivity in Diagnosing Gynecological Disorders.

Introduction Endometrial aspiration cytology (EAC) is a noninvasive, rapid, and cost-effective procedure for diagnosing gynecological disorders. This study aimed to validate endometrial aspiration as a routine, safe, and efficient outpatient diagnostic procedure, correlating its findings with histopathology evaluations to facilitate early surgical planning for patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study involved patients of reproductive, menopausal, and postmenopausal age groups who presented with diverse gynecological concerns that required dilatation and curettage.

Blastoid mantle cell lymphoma presenting as acute leukemia: a case report.

Blastoid variant of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive and incurable form of B-cell lymphoma. Various chemo-immunotherapy regimens have been used with a limited success. Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is being increasingly recommended in first remission for patients with blastoid variant MCL.

Pulmonary sarcoidosis masquerading as metastatic breast cancer: a case report.

Pulmonary lesions on imaging are presumed to be metastatic lesions in patients with breast cancer. Here, we report an interesting case of a 63-year-old lady with breast carcinoma showing pulmonary lesions on imaging suggestive of pulmonary metastases. Detailed evaluation of pulmonary lesions confirmed the presence of co-existing pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Cytodiagnosis of Coexistence of Leukemic Infiltration and Extramedullary Hematopoiesis in a Cervical Lymph Node, in T Cell Leukemia Patient.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is a compensatory mechanism that occurs when the marrow is unable to maintain sufficient red cell mass. EMH generally occurs in the patients with deficient bone marrow hematopoiesis secondary to either peripheral red cell destruction or marrow replacement. Although EMH is known to occur in agnogenic myeloid metaplasia with myelofibrosis, chronic myelogenous leukemia, thalassemia, and infiltrative disorders, such as lymphomas, it is rare in acute leukemias.

IMAGES: Ectopic thymic cyst: a rare case report.

Ectopic thymic tissue in the neck is rarely reported in medical literature. Being uncommon, they are rarely included in the clinical diagnosis of cervical cystic masses and are misdiagnosed by surgeons as branchial cysts, lymphatic malformations, epidermoid cysts, dermoid cysts or thyroglossal cysts, lymphadenitis or neoplastic masses. Although it is rare, cervical thymic cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a lateral cystic neck mass.

Cutaneous mercury granuloma.

Cutaneous mercury granuloma is rarely encountered. Clinically it may pose difficulty in diagnosis. Here, we report a 23-year-old male presented with erythematous, nodular lesions over the forearm and anterior aspect of chest wall.
