...Carla Saoud; Gabrielle E. Bailey; Ashleigh Graham; Lorena Marcano Bonilla; Sandra Ixchel Sanchez; Zahra Maleki Background: Salivary gland lesions possess diagnostic challenges on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) material. They are relatively uncommon, yet present with a wide spectrum of cytomorphology...

...Yuri Noda; Yuko Nakanishi; koji Tsuta; Hideo Inaji; Masaru Yamasaki Introduction: In fine-needle aspiration of the breast (FNAB), the “atypical” category encompasses both benign and malignant lesions, particularly papillary proliferative lesions, as per the latest WHO classification. We aimed...

...Carla Saoud; Hansen Lam; Syed Z. Ali Introduction: Metastasis of sarcomas to lymph nodes is an uncommon event in its natural history. We aimed to present our experience with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of metastatic sarcomas to lymph nodes over a 10-year period. Material and Methods...

...Geet Bhuyan; Rajashree Khound; Abir Kumar Baruah; Somshankar Chowdhury Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple, minimally invasive, and effective tool that can be used to accurately diagnose benign and malignant lesions of the breast. The International Academy...

... in the 5th World Health Organization classification of tumors of the breast. However, tubular adenoma remains poorly characterized on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and often not distinguished from fibroadenomas. In this study, the largest cohort, to date, of histologically confirmed aspirates...

..., and genetic heterogeneity posing a diagnostic dilemma, especially in small biopsy specimens such as fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core biopsy. The objective of this study is to highlight the morphologic features of MS in cytological preparations and investigate the efficacy of pathologist-performed rapid...

.... Case Presentation: Three cases were presented and discussed with their morphologies. All cases that presented with a mass in the parotid gland went to parotidectomy, and all had preoperative fine-needle aspirations (FNAs). Case 1 was a 16-year-old female; FNA was suggestive of WT and initially...

...Chirine S. Khaled; Ibrahim M. Khalifeh; Nina S. Shabb Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a worldwide established diagnostic tool for the assessment of patients with thyroid nodules.
