A case of gouty tophus in the elbow of a 62-year-old male is presented. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) revealed the presence of acicular crystals, birefringent when viewed under polarized light as is typical for monosod...
AIM To stratify the malignancy risks in thyroid nodules in a tertiary care referral center using the Bethesda system. METHODS From January, 2012 to December, 2014, a retrospective analysis was performed among 1188 pat...
In this retrospective study, a total of 275 solid masses were examined for cytopathologic diagnosis. Twenty four percent (67/275) of these cytologic samples were followed by surgical biopsy and histopathologic diagnos...
Fine-needle aspiration(FNA) cytology is an important diagnostic tool in patients with thyroid lesions.Several systems have been proposed for the cyropathologic diagnosis of the thyroid nodules.However cases with indet...
Recent advances in imaging technology have resulted in an increase in incidental discoveries of pancreatic cystic lesions. Pancreatic cysts comprise a wide variety of lesions and include non-neoplastic cysts and neopl...
