Intraoperative cytology of ovarian neoplasms with an attempt to grade epithelial tumors
Conclusion: IOC gives comparable results to frozen section and can be used for intraoperative assessment of ovarian tumors. Grading of epithelial tumors on IOC can be performed and may become an important step in intraoperative decision-making for better management and outcome of the patient. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Cyto-histo correlation of a very rare tumor: Superficial angiomyxoma
Khuraijam Bembem, Ankita Jaiswal, Meeta Singh, Nidhi Verma, Shyama Jain, Anusha BhatJournal of Cytology 2017 34(4):230-232Superficial angiomyxoma (SA) is one of the superficially located myxoid soft tissue tumor. Because of the rarity of this tumor, there is paucity of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) findings. Here, we present a case of SA in a 14-year-old girl who presented with a left leg swelling. The cytology of the lesion along with the histopathologic correlation is presented. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Role of cytology in early diagnosis of cerebrotendinous xanthomas
Shreosee Roy, Arghya Bandyopadhyay, Kaushik Bose, Soumi BhattacharyyaJournal of Cytology 2017 34(4):227-229Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease characterized by widespread tissue deposition of two neutral sterols, cholestenol and cholesterol, resulting in tendinous xanthomas, juvenile cataracts, progressive neurological defects, and premature death from arteriosclerosis. Because it is a treatable cause of cerebellar ataxia and dementia, its early diagnosis is desirable. Here, we have reported the case of an 11-year-old boy with this disorder who was diagnosed based on the cytol...

Cytological profile of a case of malignant mesothelioma of pleura with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis
PV Priya, S Deepa, PL JayalakshmyJournal of Cytology 2017 34(4):224-226Malignant mesothelioma of pleura is a locally aggressive rare neoplasm of mesothelial cells, which produces distant metastasis in advanced stages of its course. It is exceptional for patients to present with metastasis prior to the detection of primary tumor in the pleura. Here, we report a case of malignant mesothelioma of pleura in a 65-year-old quarry worker where the initial diagnosis was offered by fine needle aspiration of an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node. Subsequent pleural fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), tumor biopsy, and immunohis...

Intraparotid schwannoma masquerading as primary spindle cell tumour of parotid: A diagnostic pitfall
Jenna B Bhattacharya, Meeta Singh, Shyam L JainJournal of Cytology 2017 34(4):221-223A middle-aged female presented with a painless, slowly growing mass in the left parotid region; fine needle aspiration cytology from the mass showed uniform spindle cells in a fibrillary background with some cells showing palisading. A cytodiagnosis of schwannoma was given, which was further confirmed on biopsy. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Evaluation of the efficacy of post prostatic massage urine cytology in diagnosis of various prostatic lesions with cytohistological and clinical correlation
Conclusion: Collection of urinary specimens after prostatic massage provides adequate samples for cytological examination and carries great importance in establishing the preoperative morphologic diagnosis in cases of malignancy, prostatitis, and prostatic calculi. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Age and pattern of Pap smear abnormalities: Implications for cervical cancer control in a developing country
Conclusion: There is a high incidence of abnormal Pap smear in this environment and women start cervical cancer screening late in their reproductive life, past the age at which cervical premalignant lesions peak. This may be a contributing factor to the high burden of cervical cancer in developing countries. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Cytological evaluation of thyroid lesions by nuclear morphology and nuclear morphometry
Conclusion: The Bethesda system is a useful standardized system of reporting thyroid cytopathology. It gives implied risk of malignancy. Nuclear morphometry by computerized image analysis can be utilized as an additional diagnostic tool. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Comparison of conventional Ziehl & #8211;Neelsen method of acid fast bacilli with modified bleach method in tuberculous lymphadenitis
Conclusion: There are problems in arriving at an absolute diagnosis in certain cases of tuberculous lymphadenitis when the aspirate shows polymorphous picture with occasional epithelioid cells and absence of typical Langhans giant cell or caseous necrosis. In the present study, acid fast bacilli positivity was established in 65.33% of the cases with the bleach method. Bleach method for detection of tubercle bacilli has a high case detection rate than that of the conventional Ziehl–Neelsen method. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Cytomorphologic diversity of papillary thyroid carcinoma
Conclusions: PTC variants have distinct cytomorphological features. In some variants (follicular, columnar cell), nuclear grooves and inclusions may not be apparent, contributing to the diagnostic confusion. Benign nodule adjacent to the tumor can dominate the FNAC smear and lead to misdiagnosis. (Source: Journal of Cytology)
