A prospective observational study was conducted in a zonal care hospital probing the role of FNAC palpable head and neck lesions & its diagnostic utility which can differentiate various neoplastic non very cost effectively. To fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) lesions. one year carried out at hospital, included total 120 patients reported with masses Otorinolaryngology OPD. Out FNACs, 3...

Background: Ovary is the commonest site of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesion, can present in childhood to postmenopausal age group accounts for most prevalent cause hospital admissions. Aims & Objectives: (1) To know about various histopathological types ovarian lesions presented diagnosed. (2) study incidence with respect patient’s age. (3) frequency terms or neoplastic, benign malignant, u...

Calcification in thyroid gland is associated with both benign and malignant lesion. However calcification most frequently seen lesions. can give rise to metaplasia bone containing marrow tissue. Papillary carcinoma heterotrophic ossification has been high incidence extrathyroidal invasion, multifocality, lymphnode metastsasis older age group than those without ossification. It not described as ...

PURPOSE Multicystic ameloblastoma is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor that exhibits a more aggressive behavior than follicular cyst and keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT). The aim of this study was to perform an immunohistochemical evaluation of the mean microvessel density (MVD) effect on clinical behavior of odontogenic lesions and to determine whether peritumoral or intratumoral MVD ...

INTRODUCTION Clear cell neoplasms of the jaw are very infrequent and a review of the literature reports only isolated cases of metastatic renal clear cell carcinoma of the jaw. CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old man presented with an osteolytic lesion of the left hemimandible. The first diagnostic hypothesis was a third molar follicular cyst. Surgical treatment consisted of enucleating the lesio...

Inverted follicular keratosis (IFK) is a solitary benign epithelial tumor of infundibular hair follicle, generally observed in middle-aged and older individuals. An elderly male presented with a rough & raised pink colored lesion on the bald area of parietal scalp since 4 months. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) followed by histopathologic examination of the lesion was done. The FNA smears revealed...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has long been diagnosed based on its unique nuclear features (PTC-N); however, significant observer discrepancies have been reported in the diagnosis of encapsulated follicular patterned lesions (EnFPLs), because the threshold of PTC-N is subjective. An equivocal PTC-N may often occur in non-invasive EnFPLs and benign/malignant disagreements often create seriou...

Background: Here we report a rare case of concomitant pulmonary chondroid hamartoma and follicular non Hodgkin lymphoma in a 65-year-old woman with a history of 4-month nonspecifi c symptoms like fever, sweating and weight loss. Methods: Chest CT scan revealed a 12-mm nodule with relatively regular margins in the right middle lung fi eld, adhering to the chest wall, with no involvement of hilar...

In this retrospective histologic study, galectin-3 had a sensitivity of 92% (22/24) for papillary thyroid carcinoma and 44% (4/9) for follicular thyroid carcinoma. Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) had a sensitivity of 50% (12/24) for papillary and 11% (1/11) for follicular carcinoma. The combination of galectin-3 and TPO had a sensitivity of 96% (23/24) for papillary and 44% (4/9) for follicular carcin...

CONTEXT Follicular thyroid cancer rarely manifests itself as a distant metastatic lesion. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 41-year old man presented with a solid mass located in the left temporo-occipital region. The 3D computed tomography showed a large solid mass with high vascularity, skull erosion and supra-infratentorial epidural mass effect. After magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a sus...
