In sarcoidosis, the cytomorphologic pattern of aspirates shows a predominant progressive inflammation without exudative reaction and caseous necrosis, round granulomas with signs of polymorphism with the presence of mononuclear elements, giant cells by the "foreign body" type and development of pronounced fibrosis.

Background: Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FHRCC) is an aggressive carcinoma that typically presents as advanced-stage disease. Prompt recognition of FHRCC is critical for appropriate clinical care and genetic counseling for patients and family members. However, diagnosing FHRCC from cytology specimens is challenging, with limited characterization and no reports describing prospectively identified cases.

Background: Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) comprise 15%-20% of all ovarian epithelial malignancies. The majority of them are serous tumors followed by mucinous tumors. Pre-operative cytological diagnosis plays an important role with histopathology being the gold standard.

Background: The role of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of renal malignancies is established and has been getting more precise and important over a period of time. Knowledge of the pathology of uncommon renal neoplasms along with radiological and clinical correlations often aids in correct diagnosis.

Aims: The present study aims to describe the cytomorphological and immunohistochemical findings in the varied spectrum of renal tumors, other than renal cell carcinomas (RCC).

Background: Chronic tobacco use, in any form, induces significant cellular alterations in the oral mucosa. This study investigates four distinct cytomorphological changes in oral mucosal cells among smokeless tobacco users, examining their association across different genders and age groups.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study involved collecting mucosal samples from smokeless tobacco (naswar/snuff) users through consecutive sampling.

Background: Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is usually seen in the reticuloendothelial system such as the spleen and liver; however, there have been rare case reports when EMH is seen in serous fluids (SFs). The aim of this study included analyzing the cytomorphological features of EMH in SFs in correlation with various clinicopathologic parameters and recognizing potential diagnostic pitfalls as well as their prognostic significance.

Methods: Clinicopathologic parameters and radiologic and pathologic information from the patients with a cytologic diagnosis of EMH were evaluated with cytology slides.
