Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is regarded as one of the most important preoperative diagnostic tests for thyroid nodules. However, traditional process FNAC time-consuming, and its accuracy highly related to experience cytopathologist. Computer-aided (CAD) systems are rapidly evolving provide objective recommendations. So far, studies have used fixed-size patches usually hand-select mod...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES In this present study we have evaluated the feasibility of sub-classification of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cases according to World Health Organization's (WHO) classification on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) material along with flow cytometric immunotyping (FCI) as an adjunct. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this five years study, only cases suggested or confirmed as ...

background: the role of the breast clinics is to diagnose breast cancer and reassure patients with benign disorders. one stop clinics - same day reporting - further reduce anxiety caused by the delay in the results. the first one stop clinic was introduced in squh–oman in september 2011. methods: this retrospective analysis of 395 consecutive cases presented to breast one stop clinic at squh wa...

Follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS) is defined in the same Group III with atypia according to Bethesda Classification but these subgroups have different malignancy rates and tumor characteristics studies. In this study, aim was evaluate preoperative clinicopathologic features patients cytological Category III/FLUS thyroid nodules. The 44 were divided into two groups based on f...

BACKGROUND Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for Warthin tumors of the parotid gland. METHODS All cytologic diagnoses of Warthin tumor between 1990 and 2007 were correlated with available histology. In addition, our results were compared to current literature. RESULTS In 310 cases, Warthin tumor was diagnosed by FNAC. In 133 cases, (43...

Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) are noted for their exceptional heterogeneity and diversity and for the common morphological overlap taking place between the different entities. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a valuable tool in the primary diagnosis and management of SGTs. These lesions are generally not subjected to incisional or core needle biopsy because of possible risk of causing a...

FNAC of breast lump is an important mode of diagnosis and forms a part of triple assessment. A retrospective study was undertaken at a tertiary hospital to know the feasibility and utility of fine needle aspiration of breast aspirates by comparing the diagnosis of malignancy with its histology. Of the 321 cases selected for the study, 93 cases were detected positive for malignancy. On reviewing...

Palpable thyroid nodules are more common in women, and male/female ratio ranged from 1.2 to 4.3.[1,3] Thyroid nodules may cause hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, cosmetic issues, and problems in other organs such as compression, and they also have the potential for malignancy. [4] Therefore, the accurate evaluation of thyroid nodules is crucial. In recent years, the role of fine -needle aspirati...

superficial acral fibromyxoma are rare soft tissue tumors predominantly involving hands and feet of adults. there are only a few reported cases of this benign neoplasm, but no fnac diagnosis of this tumor is reported in the literature. a forty-eight year old female presented with a 5 x 3.5 cm globular, firm swelling over the right fifth toe. fine needle aspiration cytology (fnac) of the lesion ...

We report a case of 30 year old female patient who presented with complain of gradually progressive swelling at the lower back for 8-months duration. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of swelling revealed characteristic physaliferous cells seen as in chordoma and, radiological and histological findings are favoured the diagnosis of chondroid chordoma. Chondroid chordoma is a controversial ...
