Abnormal findings in breast imaging: a hospital-based survey in 4264 Thai women.

Objective: To evaluate the distributions of common and significant imaging findings from breast imagings at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospitals.

Material And Method: Data was collected from every mammography performed from November 1, 2001 to October 31, 2002. The reports were analyzed and imaging findings were recorded.

Cytomorphologic and DNA cytometric features of hepatocellular carcinoma in fine needle aspirates.

Objective: To classify hepatocellular carcinoma according to DNA ploidy patterns and to evaluate distinct cytomorphologic features of hepatocellular carcinoma that correlate with DNA ploidy patterns.

Study Design: Fine needle aspiration smears of 36 histologically proven hepatocellular carcinomas were performed for DNA measurement by image analysis after Feulgen restaining of the specimens. Nuclear features-prominent nucleoli, nuclear cleavage, nuclear area and nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio-were correlated with the DNA ploidy patterns.

Congenital hemihypertrophy with adrenocortical adenoma.

A rare case of adrenocortical adenoma in a 7-month-old female infant with congenital hemihypertrophy of left leg is described. Only 7 similar cases including the present one, are on record. The patients ranged in age from 7 weeks to 45 years.
