A cytological, immunophenotypical and cytogenetical study of 136 chronic B-cell proliferations (93 CLL, 43 B-cell lymphomas) was led in order to precise diagnosis and to characterize and appreciate chromosomal rearrangements. In this series, mainly selected on blood lymphocytosis criteria, B-CLL were twice more frequent than small B-cell lymphomas. Probes used revealed cryptic abnormalities, which remained unknown by conventional cytogenetics (CC). The frequency of clonal abnormalities (CC and FISH) was 74.8% for this series, with 74.4% for lymphomas and 75.3% for CLL, mainly of Binet stage A (69 A, 13 B, 1 C, 10 unspecified). Proportion was 88.4% in A stages and 84.6% in B stages. In CLL, 13q14 cryptic deletions and translocations were widely majority, 14q32 translocations and trisomy 12 being predominant in lymphoma series. Interphase FISH study of non-clonal metaphasic abnormalities with locus-specific probes often revealed unrecognised clones.

Recent studies suggest that trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1 (TRPS1) is sensitive immunomarker for breast carcinoma (BC). Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) of salivary gland can share similar morphologic and immunophenotypic features with BC. This study aimed to assess the expression of TRPS1 in SDC and other salivary gland tumors (SGTs).

Objective: This study aims to provide a literature review of FNAC-diagnosed plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) cases and present a case of PBL in an HIV patient diagnosed by FNAC.
Methods: A literature review was conducted across eight databases to compile information on FNAC-diagnosed PBL cases without restricting the site of involvement.
Results: The literature review included 23 PBL, with 13 (56.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving diagnostic accuracy for pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) by analyzing 79 confirmed cases from Zhengzhou University between 2015 and 2023.
- The analysis revealed a predominance of females, with typical age around 47 years, and noted that 5 cases were initially misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma and 1 as carcinoid.
- Key diagnostic features include the observation of dual-cell populations within the tumor and specific histological characteristics such as glandular spaces and surface cell types; recognizing these can help prevent misdiagnosis in needle biopsy specimens.

Background: Chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL) is a hematological disorder characterized by the clonal expansion of small mature lymphocytes that accumulate in the blood and bone marrow. CLL can arise from B-, T-, or natural killer cell clones. The cytological evaluation of blood smears is often the simplest and least invasive method for diagnosing lymphoid leukemia.

Article Synopsis
- * The first reported case of MSA in the parotid gland involved a 48-year-old man whose fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) showed unique cellular patterns, including multinucleated giant cells and secretory features, alongside supportive histological evidence.
- * MSA should be included in the differential diagnosis for low-grade salivary gland tumors, and accurate diagnosis can be confirmed through cellular analysis, immunohistochemistry
