This a retrospective study of 39 patients with pigmented cutaneous lesions with a subsequent histologic diagnosis of melanocytic neoplasia. The most important cytologic features seen in the fine-needle aspirates were assessed in the 26 cases deemed satisfactory for evaluation. Though cytology, along with essential clinical data, could enable a gene...
Article
We have reassessed the fine-needle aspirates of ten cases previously diagnosed as granulomatous prostatitis (GP). Presence of unequivocal epithelioid granulomas (EG) or typical caseous necrosis was required for a smear to be diagnosed as nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis (NGP) or tuberculous prostatitis (TP), respectively. As a consequence only...

Although subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (SGT) is usually diagnose clinically, there are other thyroid conditions that must be ruled out. This task is achieved by means of fine-needle aspiration (FNA). In retrospect, the clinical and cytologic findings seen in 36 SGT cases are reassessed with a view to deciding which findings are most reliable f...
Article
Two cases of atypical location of visceral leishmaniasis in two immunodepressed patients are described. In one case, leishmaniasis was seen involving the mucosa of both the esophagus and duodenum in an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patient whose initial symptoms were odynophagia and esophagospasm, resulting from an esophageal ulcer. In the sec...
Article
This is a review of the fine-needle aspirates (FNAs) of nine pilomatrixomas (PMs) found in a series of 1,500 FNAs performed on skin nodules. The objective is to determine and list the cytologic findings that might mislead the less-experienced cytopathologist and to give him advice on how to avoid such errors. The following recommendations are made:...

... Its incidence is estimated between 0.8% and 3.3% [5][6][7][8]. It is usually in the peripheral zone (PZ) because of the obtuse angle between the PZ and the urethra [9][10][11][12]. ...
... e use of different cytological preparations, including conventional smears and cell blocks, can be very helpful [56]. e importance of examining Papanicolaou-and Diff-Quikstained smears has been previously stressed, and the morphological findings are complementary and confirmatory [19,39]. Liquid-based cytology is also valuable for conclusive diagnosis, especially when cellularity is scarce or discrete [48]. ...
... The diagnosis of thyroiditis is usually based upon clinical grounds, with thyroid function testing and ultrasound for confirmation. Fine-needle aspiration of the thyroid will also demonstrate cytological appearances consistent with a granulomatous thyroiditis [4]. As the UK recovers from its second peak of infections, with total cases approaching 4.5 million [5,6], the long-term impacts of this viral infection will arise over the coming months, and especially for those who are admitted for ventilatory support. ...
... recent study indicates that thin melanomas (Breslow depth ≤1 mm) may account for approximately 30% of melanomarelated deaths. 2 Regardless of the actual cause for this increase in incidence, the most obvious result of the rising number of patients with a diagnosis of melanoma is increased clinical follow-up in these patients for the evaluation of new suspicious lesions and surveillance by dermatologists and oncologists for evidence of possible metastatic spread. Although fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has limited usefulness in the diagnosis of primary melanocytic lesions of the skin (except for unusual clinical locations, such as oral mucosa 8 or intraocular lesions 9 ) because of the clinical ease of punch biopsy, shave biopsy, or wedge resection, 10 FNAC is a useful diagnostic procedure for clinically suspicious lesions in patients with a previous diagnosis of melanoma. It is a common procedure that can be done in the clinic using simple palpation for more superficial lesions or with the assistance of image guidance for more deeply seated lesions. ...
