Abstract Background In patients with extrathoracic malignancies (ETM), granulomatous lymph adenopathy called sarcoid-like reactions (SLR) can be seen in the regional or draining lymph nodes. We hypothesized that SLR may be a sign of imminent metastasis and investigated the clinical course and rate of recurrence in patients with ETM and granulomatous...
Abstract Cytological examination of urine sediment is a helpful diagnostic tool for identifying renal involvement by hematological malignancies. We present the case of a 47-year-old man who was diagnosed with extranodal B-lymphoblastic lymphomas after presenting with gross hematuria as his first symptom. The presence of lymphoma cells in the urine...
Abstract Malignancies of the parotid gland are relatively uncommon and in most cases are primary neoplasms; intraparotid metastases are rare. Oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (O- and OP-SCC) can potentially metastasize to the parotid gland or intraparotid lymph nodes. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) serves as the initial diagnostic...
Abstract Head and neck lesions often undergo fine-needle aspiration to determine the appropriate management and therapeutic decisions. However, there are numerous diagnostic challenges encountered with these specimens, particularly, if atypical squamous cells are identified. Here, we present a case of an enlarging right neck mass in a 38-year-old female...
