  • Percutaneous needle aspiration has been widely used in the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions, because it is a fairly simple procedure with good diagnostic accuracy and low complication rate. Among its complications, the spread of malignant cells along the needle tract is rare but serious one. We report a case of chest wall implantation of lung cancer after the percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy. A 57-year-old man had undergone a right upper lobectomy for squamous cell carcinoma [T2N0M0] of the lung, 3 months after the operation, a growing mass, located far from the previous thoracotomy incision, developed on the right anterior chest wall where the diagnostic thin needle biopsy had been performed before the lobectomy. A wide excision of the chest wall mass was performed, and permanent histology showed squamous cell carcinoma as noted before.

  • Fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) holds a main role in assessing thyroid nodules. But nonnegligible rate of thyroid cytology is reported as uncertain, indeterminate or inadequate for diagnosis. Recently, the microhistologic evaluation by core needle biopsy(CNB) under ultrasound sonographical guidance has been reported to show high accuracy for the diagnose of thyroid nodules. Aim of this review was to furnish the state of the art of this topic by summarizing previous published data about indication, diagnostic performance, and complication of CNB in thyroid lesions compared with FNAC

  • Primary breast lesions diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology, confirmed by histologic examination were analyzed by morphometry to evaluate the difference between benign and malignant lesions, and the methods obtaining the sample. four size factors and 5 form factors were evaluated in 22 fibroadenomas and 20 carcinomas by image analyzer(Zeiss Ibas 2000) using the H-E stained slides. Nuclear size was significantly larger in the carcinoma cells than fibroadenoma cells both in the cytology and biopsy specimens, but the form factors were not significantly different. Both fibroadencma and carcinoma cells were significantly larger in cytologic smear than histologic section. The cells in the cytology were more regular and round than those in histology, but not statistically significant. Fibroadenomas having cellular proliferation and atypism exhibited larger size and more irregular nuclei than non-proliferative fibroadenoma, but not statistically significant. Therefore nuclear morphometric analysis can be a helpful method to diagnose the questionable breast lesions and is a method appropriate for use as a quality control procedure in the fine needle aspiration cytology.

  • We described the findings of fine needle aspiration cytology of the lung from a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of the patients with Wegener's granulomatosis is essential for a better prognosis. However, the variety of clinical presentations and nonspecific radiologic infiltrates of Wegener's granulomatosis frequently make the diagnosis difficult. Although an open lung biopsy is required for a firm diagnosis, fine needle aspiration cytology & biopsy preparation can also provide an adequate tissue sample, when the findings of fine needle aspiration are considered with clinical manifestations and ANCA value in the serum. The cytologic smears showed scattered necrotic tissue fragments entrapping many neutrophils and occasional epithelioid cells. Multinucleated giant cells were infrequently observed. Ziehl-Neelsen stain for acid fast bacilli was negative. All the cytologic features recapitulated the histopathologic findings of purulent and necrotizing granulomatous inflammation seen in Wegener's granulomatosis.

  • The cytologic finding of proliferating trichilemmal tumor is not well documented and have difficulties in the cytological analysis of the fine needle aspirates. This rare dermatopathologic entity may be encountered during aspiration biopsy of subcutaneous masses, and is, occasionally, confused with other neoplasm, particulary squamous carcinoma owing to its close cytological resemblance. We report a case of proliferating trichilemmal tumor in the left breast. The patient is a woman and had a lump in the breast for 20 years. Fine needle aspiration revealed a few small clusters of squamoid cells in the background of amorphous and calcified material. After excisional biopsy, the mass was confirmed as proliferating trichilemmal tumor. The main cytologic features discriminating squamous cell carcinoma were bland nature of epithelial cells, absence of atypical dyskeratotic cells, and rich amount of amorphous material.

  • Implantation of malignant cells along the needle aspiration tract is an extremely rare potential complication following a percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy of a lung carcinoma. The dissemination of malignant cells by a needle aspiration biopsy may convert an operable and potentially curable lesion into a fatal disease. We report two cases of chest wall implantation of carcinoma of the lung after a thin needle aspiration biopsy. A fifty-five year old male was successfully treated by a radical full-thickness excision of the chest wall and immediate reconstruction with the latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous island flap. A sixty-eight year old female was treated with a partial-thickness excision of the chest wall and skin graft due to superimposed infection and ulceration of the metastatic chest wall carcinoma. One case lived for 31 months up to November 1994, and the other's condtion has been uneventful for 3 months up to now.

  • Background and Objectives: Necrotizing lymphadenitis or Kikuchi's disease is characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy of unknown etiology with unique histologic findings in young female patients. The importance of this disease lies in the fact that it can be easily misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma, hence, clinicians need to aware of this disease entity. The purpose of this study is to report the clinicopathologic findings, radiographic findings, and many laboratory tests in order to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of necrotizing lymphadenitis. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 31 patients, who were diagnosed as necrotizing lymphadenitis by excisional biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology or ultrasound guided 18G cutting needle biopsy, retrospectively. Result : The median age was 24.8 years (range 12 to 43 years) and the male to female ratio was 1 : 2.4(9:22), with 14 females (45.1%) under 30 years. The common chief complaints were neck mass, easy fatigue and fever. Lymph node enlargement was limited to the cervical area in most cases (28cases : 90.3%). The involved lymph nodes were usually multiple (20cases : 64.5%), unilateral (26cases 83.9%) and small sized. Leukopenia (19cases : 61.3%) and elevation of ESR (18cases : 58.1%) appeared most frequently in the abnormal laboratory data. These symptoms will be gone spontaneoulsy without any specific treatment in several weeks or months. Conclusion : We should consider open biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology or ultrasound guided cutting needle biopsy with lymph node in patients who have cervical lymphadenopathy with easy fatigue and fever, especially young women to exclude other conditions such as malignant lymphoma and tuberculosis, etc.

  • Amyloid tumor is a tumorlike localized deposit of amyloid which is encountered occasionally in association with multiple myeloma and various chronic inflammatory diseases. This report describes a case of solitary amyloid tumor of the neck which was the presenting symptom arising in association with multiple myeloma. A 56-year-old woman complained of a palpable neck mass and fine needle aspiration was done. Multiple myeloma was diagnosed on the basis of the bone marrow biopsy and monoclonality of kappa light chain. The histologic and cytologic features of the amyloid appear to be characteristic and may allow a definitive diagnosis to be made on needle aspiration biopsy.

  • Orbital meningioma is a rare neoplasm that, even when suspected by CT or echographic examination, requires careful histologic study for precise identification. Fine needle aspiration(FNA) biopsy has become the diagnostic technique of choice in recent years for investigating orbital masses. There have been a few previous reports on FNA biopsy of orbital menigioma. We experienced a case of orbital meningioma in a 11-yr-old boy, diagnosed by FNA biopsy. The cytohistologic features of aspirated material (intranuclear inclusions, psammoma bodies, and cells arranged in whorls) made it easy to diagnose a meningloma.

  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a destructive, fibrohistiocytic proliferation producing innumerable villous and nodular synovial protrusions. Its common locations are knee, ankle, foot, and hip. Although histologic feature of this tumor is well known, there have been few reports on the fine needle aspiration cytology findings. We report the cytologic features of a biopsy-proven case oi pigmented villonodular synovitis. The patient was a 21-year-old male with a mass of the right knee for 2 years. On fine needle aspiration cytology, the aspirates was composed of abundant mononuclear histiocytic cells, singly and in clusters, multinucleated slant cells, and hemoslderin pigments.
