Furthermore, although many different therapeutic options exist, especially with regards to non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infections – incision and drainage, aspiration biopsy and chemotherapy have all been proven to result in a complete cure of NTM-type infections – different treatments can cause different side-effects, including facial ...
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has a sensitivity and specificity percentages of 81% and 100%, respectively, in the histopathology of malignant cervical lymphadenopathy. [11] PET-CT has proven to be helpful in identifying occult primary carcinomas of the head and neck, especially when applied as a guiding tool prior to panendoscopy, and ...

Rosai–Dorfman disease, also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy or sometimes as Destombes–Rosai–Dorfman disease, [1] [2] [3] is a rare disorder of unknown cause that is characterized by abundant histiocytes in lymph nodes or other locations including the skin, sinuses, brain and heart. Individuals with the disorder ...
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or masses. In this technique, a thin (23–25 gauge (0.52 to 0.64 mm outer diameter)), hollow needle is inserted into the mass for sampling of cells that, after being stained , are examined under a microscope ( biopsy ).
To exclude sarcoidosis in a case presenting with pulmonary symptoms might involve a chest radiograph, CT scan of chest, PET scan, CT-guided biopsy, mediastinoscopy, open lung biopsy, bronchoscopy with biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound, and endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration of mediastinal lymph nodes (EBUS FNA).
Traumatic asphyxia, or Perte's syndrome, [1] is a medical emergency caused by an intense compression of the thoracic cavity, causing venous back-flow from the right side of the heart into the veins of the neck and the brain.
Differentiated thyroid cancer is seen coexisting with ATC on fine-needle aspiration biopsies in 20-50% of cases. [2] Anaplastic tumors have a high mitotic rate and frequently invades the local blood and lymphatic vessels. [5] Cellular death is frequently visualized on microscopic images. [2]
