Detection of Metastatic Fibro-Lamellar Type of Hepato Cellular Carcinoma in Ascitic Fluid Cytology in a Liquid-Based Preparation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Hepato cellular carcinoma (HCC) of fibro lamellar type is an uncommon primary hepatic carcinoma. They occur most commonly in young adults. Their etiology is not clear till date, as they are not associated with chronic liver disease. Fibro lamellar HCC is not an indolent tumor, but has a better prognosis than conventional HCC. We present an interesting case of metastatic fibro lamellar HCC detected in ascitic fluid prepared by liquid-based cytology (LBC). The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (US-FNA) of retroperitoneal lymph node. We report a rare case of fibro lamellar HCC detected on exfoliative cytology, which was confirmed by FNAC and immunochemistry (IHC).

PURPOSE Cytological examination of ascitic fluid is critical for clinical management of patients with peritoneal or pelvic diseases. Such morphological examination can only achieve a sensitivity of <62%, and thus a molecular test that is able to distinguish benign versus malignant ascites could be clinically useful. In this study we determined the presence of allelic imbalance (AI) in tumor-rel...

Bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma with subcutaneous chest wall metastasis is a very rare presentation. A case of 36- year-old male with metastatic subcutaneous chest nodule of bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology, is reported here. Cutaneous metastases are of diagnostic importance because they may be the first manifestation of an undiscovered internal malig...
