Vestibular papillomatosis (VP) is an uncommon benign condition. This condition is very rare; hence, its incidence is difficult to estimate. It has been recorded in healthy young women in the range of 1%-33%. Owing to the papillomatous appearance of the lesion, it is often misdiagnosed as condyloma acuminatum, resulting in unnecessary investigations and multitude of treatments, which adds to the physical and economical burden on patients. We present three cases of VP.

Aim: Thyroid nodules, based on high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS), are among the most common endocrine abnormalities that affect the general population because of their high estimated prevalence rates. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a safe, cost-effective modality to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid nodules based on the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC), thus avoiding unnecessary surgery. However, categories III and IV of BSRTC remain a controversial issue in clinical practice, encompassing a wide range of risks of malignancy.
