:Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has emerged as one of the well-established first-line diagnostic techniques in the evaluation of thyroid lesions as well as solitary thyroid nodule. Until 2007,various competing reporting systems using variable number of diagnostic criteria and diagnostic terminology, causing a discordance among clinician and pathologist. To address the variability in terminology and other issues related to thyroid FNA, the National Cancer Institute proposed the six tiered "Bethesda System for reporting of thyroid cytopathology". The current study is done to perform uniform reporting system for thyroid cytopathology based on Bethesda system and to reduce surgical procedure of those thyroid lesions, which can easily be treated medically. The present study was undertaken on fifty patients with clinically enlarged thyroid during a period of approximately two years who attended the Cytology section of Pathology Department, S.P. Medical College, Bikaner. All fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) diagnoses were classified according to the features given in the monograph of TBSRTC into nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory (ND/UNS), benign, atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS), follicular neoplasm/suspicious of a follicular neoplasm (FN/SFN), suspicious for malignancy (SFM), and malignant. The distribution of various categories from 50 evaluated thyroid nodules was as follows: 6% ND/UNS, 74% benign, 2% AUS/FLUS, 10% FN, 2 SFM, and 6% malignant. TBSRTC is an excellent reporting system for thyroid FNA. It also provides clear management guidelines to clinicians to go for follow-up FNA or surgery and also the extent of surgery.
Collision tumor is defined as the coexistence of two adjacent, but histologically distinct tumors without histological admixture in the same tissue or organ. Collision tumors involving ovaries are extremely rare. The coexistence of a mucinous cystadenoma with a dermoid cyst is infrequently reported. However, the most common histological combination of collision tumor in the ovary is the coexistence of teratoma with mucinous tumors. Recognizing the potential for the coexistence of these two neoplasms in the same ovary is essential to be able to make a correct diagnosis. we report here a rare case report of ovary comprising mucinous cyst adenoma and mature cystic teratoma. The case was diagnosed postoperatively. It is important to correctly diagnose the component of tumour for further management and favourable prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup 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 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.
