Needle Aspiration Cytology

Teratomas are tumours which are derived from all the 3 germ cell layers: endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm with varying proportions. Cervical teratomas in children are almost always benign but locally aggressive. They can present with respiratory distress and immediate excision is required. The cervical teratoma is an uncommon entity which are rarely reported in Indian medical literature particularly on FNA. We present a case of an anterior cervical teratoma in an infant which was diagnosed on the base of FNA material.

FNAC plays an important role in the early diagnosis of the axillary swelling. This study was conducted to document the spectrum of lesions on the patients that came for FNAC with the complain of axillary swelling. Present study was carried out at the Department of Pathology. A total of 30 cases of axillary swelling which were referred for FNAC in the department of Pathology, over the period of 3 months were retrospectively evaluated. All the stained slides of the cases were also reviewed.: From 30 cases there were 13 males and 17 females. On examining the stained slides maximum number of cases presented with chronic granulomatous lymphadenitis followed by Reactive lymphadenitis , Lipoma, Ductal carcinoma metastasis of breast in axillary lymphnode, chronic non-specific lymphadenitis, One unusual case of Hydatid cyst who presenting with axillary swelling was also diagnosed. : FNAC is an important tool in differentiating benign and malignant lesions thus, helps in the proper management of the disease.

Objective: To evaluate the role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in the preoperative diagnosis of malignancy in parotid and submandibular gland neoplasm. Methods: This cross sectional study on 50 cases was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery of Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January’2009 to June 2010. Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology findings of our all 50 cases were compared with postoperative histopathological reports. Out of the 50 cases, in 36(72%) cases of benign neoplasm and 7(14%) cases of malignant neoplasm, pre-operative FNAC findings and post operative histopathological findings were same. In 7 cases, FNAC and post operative histopathological findings did not matched. These were 2 (4%) false positive and 5 (10%) false negative result.In our study sensitivity of FNAC for reporting malignancy was 58.33%, specificity to rule out malignancy was 94.73% and overall accuracy in detecting malignant tumour was 86%. Positive predictive value and negative value were 77.77% and 87.80% respectively. It can be concluded that fine needle aspiration cytology is a safe, cheap and useful preoperative diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of malignancy in parotid and submandibular gland, but as fine needle aspiration cytology partly depends on operator skill, it may give false negative and false positive result. Conclusion: FNAC is a useful preoperative diagnostic tool for malignant parotid and submandibular glands with high specificity and sensitivity.
