Incidental detection of psammoma bodies in cervico-vaginal smears

Cytopathologic changes associated with intrauterine contraceptive devices. A review of cervico-vaginal smears in 350 women.

Cervico-vaginal smears from 350 IUCD users were analysed to ascertain the range of abnormalities induced in the genital tract of these women. Alteration of the microbial environment, inflammatory, degenerative, reparative and proplastic epithelial changes were the salient cytological findings. The clinical implications of these are briefly discussed.

Psammoma bodies in malignant pleural mesothelioma.

A 55-year-old never-smoker housewife presented with cough and exertional dyspnea. Chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a right superior paravertebral mass, irregular nodular thickening of the right pleura, and mediastinal lymphadenopathy (Picture A).

Uterus Dysplasia Associated with Cervico-Vaginal Agenesis

Müllerian ducts can form upper parts of normal female reproductive system and any failure in ductal fusion may lead to Müllerian Duct Anomalies (MDA). We present a case of MDA, a uterus dysplasia with no evidence of cervical or upper vaginal tissue. This case illustrates the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on MDA diagnosis and urges the need for a unified reliable and practical classif...
