Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a rare benign tumor seen predominantly in men in the sixth to seventh decades of life. We present a case of breast myofibroblastoma in a man and describe the mammographic, sonographic, and MR findings.
Nuclear crease or grooving was found to be a diagnostic feature of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies. The FNA biopsies of 37 cases of PTC, 50 cases of multinodular goiter, and 50 cases of follicular neoplasms (45 follicular adenomas and five follicular carcinomas) were examined. The diagnosis was histologically verified in all the cases. The nuclear crease was found to be present in 34 of 37 cases of PTC and in two of five cases of follicular carcinoma. There was no nuclear crease in any of the other cases examined. Thus, it is concluded that the nuclear crease is a fairly constant and characteristic feature of PTC in FNA biopsies and can be used as a valuable diagnostic criterion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
