Fine needle aspiration cytology of metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma.
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is uncommon cutaneous malignant neuroendocrine tumour of the elderly people with rapidly growing skin nodules found frequently on sun-exposed areas of the body. MCC is often an aggressive tumour with high tendency for local recurrence, lymph node involvement and distant metastases.

Ovarian cancer is a major clinical challenge in obstetrics and gynecology. The reason of this is the lack of specific symptoms for ovarian cancer before the recurrence and progression of the tumor, so many cases are not...
متن کاملMetastatic Lymphadenopathy by Fine-needle Aspiration Cytology
Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays an undeniably important role in the diagnostic approach to lymphadenopathy. Our aim was to study the distribution and cytomorphology of metastatic lymphadenopathy and understand the approach to diagnosis. Materials and Methods: This was retrospective study including all cases of lymph nodes involved by metastatic malignancy which was re...
متن کاملMetastatic Chordoma: A Diagnostic Challenge on Fine Needle Aspiration
Chordomas are primary low grade malignant tumors of bone that usually arise within both ends of axial skeleton. The Notochord is a midline, ectoderm-derived structure that defines the phylum of chordates. Chordomas may pose difficult diagnostic challenges when encountered in secondary locations, such as lungs or other parenchymatous organs. We report the cytologic findings of a metastatic chord...
متن کاملSuspicious Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Aspiration Biopsy: TSH as a Malignancy Marker?
Thyroid nodules are common, affecting from 5 to 15% of the population (Tunbridge et al., 1977; Vander et al., 1968). Thyroid cancer, on the other hand, is uncommon and represents only 5% of all nodules, with an incidence in the United States of 1/10,000 inhabitants (Davies & Welch, 2006). Among thyroid neoplasms, the differentiated carcinomas (DTC) are the most frequent, and are responsible for...
