Retinoblastoma in an adult
We report here an unusual case of retinoblastoma in a 55-year-old adult female who presented to us with an orbital mass at a late stage of the disease. Detailed laboratory investigations and imaging studies could not make a precise diagnosis. The treating ophthalmologist suspected primary intraocular tumor, metastatic carcinoma, malignant melanoma, or lymphoma and referred the patient for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Cytopathological examination of Giemsa-stained FNAC smear was consistent with that of retinoblastoma and established the diagnosis. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Primary splenic angiosarcoma with liver metastasis: A rare neoplasm diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology and cell block immunocytochemistry
Saniya Sharma, Priya Singh, Pankaj Gupta, Anupam Lal, Radhika SrinivasanJournal of Cytology 2018 35(2):114-116
Primary splenic angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. The tumor is highly aggressive and has a high metastatic potential. It is usually diagnosed on histopathological examination of splenectomy specimen. Only few cases of angiosarcoma diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology alone have been reported in the literature. The cytologic features of angiosarcoma are heterogeneous, however, diagnosis can be suggested by FNA when vasoformative features are present. A 55-year-...

Analysis of morphological features of benign and malignant breast cell extracted from fnac microscopic image using the pearsonian system of curves
Conclusions: For the benign group, kappa (Ò) corresponding to area, perimeter, and circularity was −0.00004, 0.0000, and 0.04155 and for malignant group it was 1016942, 0.01464, and −0.3213, respectively. Thus, the family of distribution related to these features for the benign and malignant group were different, and therefore, characterization of their probability curve will also be different.

Gata3 immunohistochemical staining is a useful marker for metastatic breast carcinoma in fine needle aspiration specimens
Conclusions: GATA3 IHC staining is a useful addition to IHC panels for FNA samples in specific settings such as distinguishing metastatic breast from lung carcinoma or melanoma. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration in adrenal lesions: analysis of 32 patients
Conclusions: EUS-FNA of the adrenal gland is a safe, quick, and sensitive and real-time diagnostic technique, which requires an integrated approach of clinician, endoscopist, and cytopathologist for high precision in diagnosis. Although the role of EUS-FNA for right adrenal is not much described, we found adequate sample yield in all the four patients that underwent the procedure. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Utility of cytospin and cell block technology in evaluation of body fluids and urine samples: A comparative study
Conclusions: Cytospin technology is a quick, efficient, and cost-effective method of increasing cell yield in hypocellular samples, with better preservation of cell morphology. Cell blocks are better prepared from high cellularity fluids; however, tissue architecture is better studied, with improved rate of diagnosis and decrease in ambiguous results. Numerous sections can be prepared from a small amount of material. Special stains and immunochemical stains can be easily applied to cell blocks. It also provides a source of archival material.
