Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy of focal liver lesions was performed in 36 patients. Of the biopsies, 83% yielded enough cytologic material for a correct diagnosis, without significant complications. The primary indication for the biopsy was to document the presence of malignancy and avoid a diagnostic laparotomy.

Introduction: Neck ultrasonography (US) and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy are usually used to evaluate thyroid nodules. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of two popular thyroid imaging reporting systems in detecting thyroid malignancy and to evaluate the correlation between thyroid autoimmunity, nodule site, and size in the development of malignancy.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted from January 2019 to July 2021 in Basrah, Iraq.
A radiopathomics model for predicting large-number cervical lymph node metastasis in clinical N0 papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a multimodal radiopathomics model utilising preoperative ultrasound (US) and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to predict large-number cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in patients with clinically lymph node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Materials And Methods: This multicentre retrospective study included patients with PTC between October 2017 and June 2024 across seven institutions. Patients were categorised based on the presence or absence of large-number CLNM in training, validation, and external testing cohorts.
The natural history of cytologically low-risk indeterminate thyroid nodules.

Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy.
Background: Thyroid nodules classified cytologically as low-risk indeterminate lesions (TIR3A) on fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) present a clinical challenge due to their uncertain malignancy risk. This single-center study aimed to evaluate the natural history of TIR3A nodules.
Materials And Methods: FNABs performed between July 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively retrieved and patients with TIR3A nodules were evaluated at baseline and throughout a follow-up based on ultrasound (US) parameters and clinical data.

Objective: An accurate fine-needle aspiration (FNA) diagnosis of adrenal lesions may be challenging. This study was to investigate roles of imaging guidance, rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) and additional tissue sampling in FNA diagnosis of adrenal lesions.
Methods: Adrenal FNA cases were retrieved from pathology archive.

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a very uncommon type of CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma, and it very rarely affects the forehead. We report the case of a 68-year-old male presenting with an ulcerative lesion on the right forehead, initially suspected as a benign condition. Fine needle aspiration suggested a lymphoproliferative disorder, with biopsy and immunohistochemistry confirming primary cutaneous ALCL (CD30-positive, anaplastic lymphoma kinase [ALK]-negative).
