We describe the case of pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma in a 34-year-old asymptomatic man who presented with a pulmonary nodule apparent by chest radiography and computed tomography (CT). He had a history of previous treatment for tuberculosis. His laboratory data were normal. Bronchoscopy and CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration cytology were inconclusive. The diagnosis was revealed after the histopathological examination of an open lung biopsy.

Breast Hamartoma

Breast hamartoma is an underdiagnosed and poorly recognized rare benign lesion, accounting for approximately 4.8% of all benign breast lumps. There is lack of awareness of the characteristic clinical and histologic features of this entity in clinicians and pathologists. The pathogenesis of the development of breast hamartoma is still not fully understood. A 23-year-old female presented with a huge painless lump in right breast. The lump was present since last nine years. It was previously of the size of a bean, which rapidly increased to the present size during her pregnancy. FNAC revealed features of lipoma. However, on histopathological examination diagnosis of Hamartoma was rendered. A definitive diagnosis of hamartoma is hard to achieve on clinical examination, imaging studies and fine needle aspiration cytology. A correlation of histology, imaging findings with clinical impression is necessary.

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis has been found to be associated with lymphoma, papillary carcinoma and Hürthle cell neoplasms of thyroid. In contrast, there are only a few reports of co-existence of HT with medullary carcinoma of thyroid. An overall prevalence of medullary carcinoma of only 0.35% has been reported in HT patients. Such a rare combination is being presented here. A 33 year old female presented with history of goiter for one year. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the swelling revealed cytological features suggestive of medullary carcinoma of thyroid. Histopathological examination of total thyroidectomy specimen revealed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis along with medullary carcinoma of thyroid. Although Hashimoto’s thyroiditis can uncommonly coexist with thyroid neoplasm, its association with medullary carcinoma is extremely rare and hence being presented.  Keywords: association, hashimoto’s thyroiditis, histopathology, medullary carcinoma of thyroid.

INTRODUCTION: The study is an attempt to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, p Value and complications of CT guided thoracic interventions fine needle aspiration cytology and core biopsy which are used for diagnosing benign and malignant thoracic lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Study included 102 Patients (87 males and 15 females) with age group ranged from 15 to 87 years.A total of 143 CT guided interventions (84 FNAC’s and 59 core biopsies) were performed in 102 patients. The tissue obtained was sent to the laboratory for histopathological and cytological analysis for a final diagnosis which would contribute to patient management. RESULTS: All( 59) core biopsies were successful in procuring adequate tissue for histopathological analysis and the yield of core biopsies was 100% .However out of 84 FNAC’s only 4 were unsuccessful in procuring adequate tissue with a failure rate of 4.8%. Post procedural biopsy complications were only three (2.1%) which were small pneumothorax. There were 75 malignant lesions and 23 benign lesions based on cytology and histopathology (4 were excluded due to inadequate sample). There was good agreement between benign and malignant lesions diagnosed on CT and that diagnosed by pathology. The most common benign and malignant lesions were granulomatous lesion and squamous cell carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous CT guided interventions like core biopsy and fine needle aspirations cytology are simple minimal invasive procedures with good patient acceptance and low morbidity and almost negligible mortality. CT guided interventions should be performed early for diagnosis of thoracic lesions.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Cysticercosis is a systemic parasitic disease caused by the larval form of cestodeT. solium. It has a worldwide distribution and is potentially harmful with variable clinical manifestations. The patient most commonly presents with subcutaneous and muscle involvement in the form of nodular lesions. The other most commonly involved sites include eye, brain, bladder wall, and heart. Cysticercosis can be diagnosed on serology, and radiologically but confirmatory diagnosis is based on histopathological examination of the involved tissue biopsy specimen. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a useful low-cost outpatient procedure tool for preoperative diagnosis of cysticercosis and is absolutely essential for diagnosis of the parasitic lesions in a peripheral hospital, one like ours.

Breast cancer has been considered a female dominated disease. Carcinoma of male breast is a rare disease representing 1% of all breast cancers and less than 1 % of all cancers in men. The mean age at presentation is mainly in sixties. We here present a case of male breast cancer presented at very young age of 29 years, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration which was confirmed later on histopathological examination.

ABSTRACT Extramedullary noncutaneous plasmacytoma (ENP) is a myeloproliferative disorder of plasma cells that rarely affects cats. This paper describes an ENP case revealed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the mass in the skeletal muscle of an 8-month-old, male, mixed breed cat, which had a nodule in the left hind limb. The rapid immunoassay test confirmed the presence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV). The animal necropsy macroscopically showed the nodule came from the semimembranosus muscle. Histopathological examination ratified the cytological findings. Thus, this paper alerts to the existence of plasmacytoma located in the skeletal muscle of feline species. FNAC is a quick and efficient method for diagnosis of ENP.

Primary Retroperitoneal

Mullerian tumors are extremely rare malignancies in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of a 46-year old woman who presented with an eight year history of lower abdominal mass. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 15×10 cm cystic mass in the left lower retroperitoneum. As serial percutaneous needle aspiration cytology was negative for malignancy, she was observed for seven years. Eleven months ago, the mass was excised. The histopathology was reported as mucinous adenocarcinoma of the retroperitoneum. Six cycles of intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy was administered during the last six months after diagnosis of recurrence by aspiration cytology and high serum tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9). A few days ago, positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning showed evidence of local recurrence and single vertebral metastasis, so she was admitted again for systemic chemotherapy. Meticulous revision of additional sections of the tumor revealed papillary, serous, mucinous, and endometrioid subtypes of the mullerian adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge, there has been no similar case described in the literature.
