Diagnostic utility and pitfalls of Tzanck smear cytology in diagnosis of various cutaneous lesions
Conclusions: Tzanck smear test is an inexpensive and useful diagnostic tool for certain skin diseases. It can aid in establishing a rapid clinical diagnosis and can serve as a useful adjunct to routine histological examination. We recommend the use of Tzanck smear as a first-line investigation for vesiculobullous, erosive, and pustular lesions. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Sarcoma in urine cytology; an extremely rare entity: A report of two cases
Suvradeep Mitra, Gurwinder Kaur, Nandita Kakkar, Priya Singh, Pranab DeyJournal of Cytology 2017 34(3):171-173
Primary sarcomas of the urinary bladder or prostate are extremely rare entities. The rarity and lack of awareness makes it difficult for the cytologists to detect the spindle cell lesions in urine for malignant cytology. The literature available for the detection of urinary tract sarcomas is little. Here, we report the urine cytology findings of two interesting cases of urinary bladder and prostatic leiomyosarcoma.

Ceruminous adenoma: A rare tumor diagnosed on cytology with histological correlation
Rumpa Das, Gorakh Nath, Sangita Bohara, Shivanjali RaghuvanshiJournal of Cytology 2017 34(3):168-170
Ceruminous adenoma (CA) is a rare, benign tumor of the ceruminous gland found in the cartilaginous part of the external auditory canal (EAC). The tumor is diagnosed on histopathology and shows a characteristic dual population of luminal epithelial cells and basal myoepithelial cells. However, CA can be diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) prior to surgery and the cytopathologist should be well aware of its cytological findings to avoid any misdiagnosis. The tumor shows an excellent prognosis with possible re...
