AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated 42 cases of orbital lesions in the superolateral quadrant through fine needle aspiration biopsy, achieving a 92.85% correct diagnosis rate.
- Predominantly affecting females, various types of lesions were identified, including lymphomatous tumors treated with radiotherapy and pseudotumors treated with steroids.
- Specific treatment approaches varied for other conditions, such as excision for dermoid tumors and lateral orbitotomy with radiotherapy for adenocarcinomas.
Article Abstract
Forty-two cases of orbital lesions in superolateral quadrant were evaluated in our study by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Cases were histologically proven wherever possible. In 92.85% cases the diseases were correctly diagnosed. Females were mainly affected. Lymphomatous tumours were diagnosed on the basis of atypical lymphoid proliferation, correlated with clinical features and findings of computed tomographic scan and managed by radiotherapy. Pseudotumours, dermoid and epithelial tumours of lacrimal gland were diagnosed accurately except in one case of malignant mixed tumour where the malignant component was aspirated. Pseudotumours were treated by steroid, dermoid by excision. In case of adenocarcinoma and adenocystic carcinoma, tumour masses were removed by lateral orbitotomy and radiotherapy was applied when bony erosion was present. One case of eosinophilic granuloma was treated by radiotherapy and curettage. The suspected case of intra-osseous cavernous haemangioma did not turn up for treatment.

In the era of molecular testing, thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology are increasingly being managed nonoperatively. The false-negative rates of these molecular tests, and therefore missed malignancies, are not well defined in real-world clinical practice. This retrospective study of patients undergoing fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy at our health system between November 2017 and March 2022 included nodules with The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) III and IV cytology and negative, currently negative, or negative but limited ThyroSeq version 3 (TSv3) results.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms with intermediate biological potential and are characterized by spindle-shaped myofibroblastic cells and significant inflammatory infiltrates. This case report describes a 24-year-old male with diabetes who was admitted to the hospital for over three days of vomiting and abdominal pain and was initially diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis. Upon admission, an abdominal CT scan revealed a large cystic-solid mass in the abdominal cavity and multiple nodules in the mesentery, omentum, and peritoneum, suggesting a preliminary diagnosis of an intra-abdominal mesenchymal tumor with peritoneal metastasis.

A 6-year-old castrated male mixed breed dog presented to the "Louisiana State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital &-anonymized for review" ophthalmology service with marked exophthalmos and lagophthalmos of the left eye and soft tissue swelling medial to the zygomatic arch. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, and it revealed a well-marginated, lobulated, homogenously fat density involving the retrobulbar space. Preliminary results of a fine-needle aspirate (FNA) and biopsy were not conclusive, and a modified transfrontal orbitotomy was performed to remove the mass.

Lymph node sampling with endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) may affect treatment options for biliary tract cancers. Our aim is to clarify its utility and clinical significance and the factors associated with FNA cytology positivity. Seventy-one consecutive patients with biliary tract cancer who underwent EUS-FNA to diagnose lymphadenopathies from April 2012 to July 2021 were enrolled retrospectively.

Rationale And Objectives: This study aims to develop a radiopathomics model based on preoperative ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) images to enable accurate, non-invasive preoperative risk stratification for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The model seeks to enhance clinical decision-making by optimizing preoperative treatment strategies.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from PTC patients who underwent thyroidectomy between October 2022 and May 2024 across six centers.
