Fine-needle aspiration of follicular adenoma versus parathyroid adenoma

Infarction of parotid pleomorphic adenoma following fine needle aspiration biopsy

Fine needle aspiration has been used increasingly as a diagnostic procedure to evaluate neoplastic and non neoplastic lesions in various tissues. It is a safe, cost effective and well tolerated method with few complications. In a small number of cases fine nedle aspiration has been followed by varying degrees of necrosis in some organs. We report a case of 44 year-old female with a two years hi...

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology versus Fine Needle Capillary Sampling in Cytological Diagnosis of Thyroid Lesions

Background and Objectives: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an established out- patient procedure used in primary diagnosis of palpable thyroid lesions. A modified technique fine needle capillary sampling (FNCS) obviates the need of suction, is less painful, patient friendly and reported to overcome the problem of inadequate and bloody specimens. The aim of our study was to compare the...

Parathyroid adenoma Localization

 Background: Bilateral neck exploration is the gold standard for parathyroid adenoma localization in primary hyperparathyroidism. But surgeons do not have adequate experience for accurate surgical exploration and new methods are developed for surgery like unilateral exploration and minimally invasive surgery, thus, preoperative localization could reduces time and stress in surgical performance....

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Parathyroid Lesions

BACKGROUND There has been an increase in the use of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for the diagnosis of parathyroid lesions (PLs). Differentiation between a thyroid lesion and a PL is not easy because of their similar features. We reviewed parathyroid aspirates in our institution and aimed to uncover trends in diagnostic criteria. METHODS We selected 25 parathyroid aspirates (from 6 m...
