Benign adenoidal hypertrophy is the most common cause of nasopharyngeal obstruction. However, depending on size and location, masses may cause nasopharyngeal obstruction. We present our experiences with a ten-year-old female who presented with what appeared to be a large nasopharyngeal mass that was initially favored to be malignant and was ultimately found to be adenoid hypertrophy related to acute infection with adenovirus.

Cutaneous cylindromas are rare, slow-growing adnexal tumors commonly found on the capillitium or face. When located on the capillitium, they can cluster together, forming a headgear-like structure that gives the characteristic "turban" appearance. Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition, is typically benign, though malignant transformation can occur.

Introduction: Thyroid lesions are one of the most common diseases observed in clinical practice in the North India. These diseases have distinct cytological morphology and thus FNAC is done frequently. Here we report a case of adenomatoid goitre mimicking adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland on cytology.

- Thyroid and salivary gland cytopathology often present diagnostic challenges due to overlapping features and rare conditions, prompting a focused seminar at the 45th European Congress of Cytology to address these issues.
- The seminar showcased complex cases using fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) alongside histopathological and molecular analyses to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.
- The findings emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary diagnostic approach that integrates cytological, clinical, and histopathological data for accurate patient management.

Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed the clinicopathological features of spiradenocarcinoma, cylindrocarcinoma, and spiradenocylindrocarcinoma using seven cases diagnosed at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2015 to 2021, focusing on tumor characteristics and clinical behavior correlations.
- - The tumors predominantly affected middle-aged individuals and were primarily located on the head and neck, extremities, and trunk; histopathological evaluations revealed types such as low-grade and high-grade basal cell adenocarcinoma-like patterns, along with invasive adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (IAC-NOS), some containing mucinous components.
- - Follow-up data indicated poor prognosis specifically for IAC-NOS cases, with
