...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...

.... The Sydney system was recently proposed to provide consensus guidelines for the performance, classification, and reporting of lymph node FNAC. The present study was undertaken to evaluate its utility and study the impact of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE). Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis...

...Elizabeth M. Kurian; Muhanned Abu-Hijleh; Tricia Rood Lowrey; Luis Eduardo De Las Casas Introduction: In patients with a history of malignancy, follow-up surveillance of lymph nodes (LNs) is required to evaluate for potential malignancy or infection. In some cases, the lymphadenopathy may...

... Vielh; Pio Zeppa Background: The evaluation of lymph nodes (LN) by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is routinely used in many institutions but it is not uniformly accepted mainly because of the lack of guidelines and a cytopathological diagnostic classification. A committee of cytopathologists has...

...; Andrew S. Field Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytopathology (FNAC) of lymph nodes is a very common, inexpensive, and rapid diagnostic procedure and can lead to the accurate and timely diagnosis of one of the wide range of pathological processes that involve lymph nodes. These diagnoses include specific...

...Ciara Ellen Gibbons; Cecily Mary Quinn; David Gibbons Context: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is frequently used to stage the axilla preoperatively in patients with primary breast carcinoma. In the light of the ACOSOG-Z0011 and AMAROS trials that specified sentinel lymph node biopsy...

... specimens p16 staining in > 70% of the tumor cells is considered a positive result, the interpretation in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens has remained controversial. Study Design: FNA of neck lymph nodes and corresponding surgical specimens from 42 patients with OPHPVSCC were reviewed. Results...

... with histology and bacteriology findings. Study Design: We undertook a descriptive retrospective study of 937 FNAC specimens from 851 patients with cervical lymph nodes. The FNAC findings were then compared to histopathology and bacteriology. Results: Of the 937 aspirates, the cytopathological diagnoses...

...Sandeep S. Ojha; Rubal Jain; Farah Meenai; Ramrao Nilkanthe; Amit Haritwal Background: Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare neoplasm arising from follicular dendritic cells of germinal centers. The most common site of origin is lymph nodes and it may mimic a variety of tumors...

... to a secondary panel highlighting the role of fine-needle biopsy (FNB). Applied together with other ancillary techniques, such as flow cytometry (FC), FNB is a potential tool for the diagnosis of lymphomas, and enlarged lymph nodes represent an excellent target for the implementation of this technique. Despite...

...Immacolata Cozzolino; Monia Rocco; Giancarlo Villani; Marco Picardi In the last decades, lymph node fine-needle cytology (FNC), coupled with flow cytometry (FC), has gained a role in the diagnosis and classification of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The combination of FNC/FC allows the diagnosis...

...Carlo Baldi; Antonio Ieni; Immacolata Cozzolino; Vincenzo Cerbone; Domenico Memoli; Pio Zeppa Background: A primary lymph node leiomyoma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is reported. Case: A 22-year-old male complained of right groin swelling; ultrasound examination (US) showed...

... was to determine if TG-W results contributed to the management of cases with positive FNA cytology. Study Design: We reviewed data on patients with positive and suspicious cytology results, undergoing lymph node or thyroid bed FNA with TG-W testing as part of the preoperative or follow-up investigation...

... Immunoglobulin light-chain restriction Lymph node B cell lymphoma Flow cytometry Cytology Cytological diagnosis with fine-needle aspiration is used for diagnosis in patients with lymph node swelling. However, it is difficult to differentiate between malignant lymphoma and benign lymphoid lesions...

...Sara E. Monaco; Amy Colaizzi; Anisa Kanbour; Ahmed S. Ibrahim; Amal Kanbour-Shakir Objective: Axillary lymph node (LN) sampling is important for breast cancer staging and can be performed using fine needle aspiration (FNA).
