Galectin-3 immunodetection for improving the performance of conventional thyroid cytology: preliminay results
2008
Introduction: Most of differentiated thyroid carcinomas should be easily revealed by fine-needle aspiration cytology but sometimes preoperative diagnosis is doubtful. Galactin-3 is a carbohydrate –binding protein with affinity for beta-galactosides that plays a significant role in cell-cell and cell matrix adhesion, growth, neoplastic transformation and metastasis. Moreover, galectin-3 immunodetection is related to follicular thyroid malignancies. Our aim is to test Galectin-3 as potential preoperative marker for follicular and papillary carcinomas. Methods: Expression of galectin -3 was tested by fluorescence staining on 40 fresh cytological thyroid samples obtained preoperatively; the sam…

COLONIC LOCALIZATION OF MYXOID LIPOSARCOMA: CASE REPORT
2008
INTRODUCTION: myxoid liposarcoma approximately constitutes 20% of all mesenchymal malignancies preferably occurring in adults with prevalent localization in arts even if there are rare intra-abdominal locations: only 3 cases reported in the literature. We present a case of myxoid liposarcoma with colic localization outlining a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure through a literature’s review. CASE REPORT: We observed a 37 year-old man in January 2007 because of colic pain in the middle abdomen, dyspepsia and constipation. The CT with contrast agent showed a capsulated solid mass with net margins, lobules and adipose tissue component compressing and displacing small bowel. After incision we…

CT-GUIDED TRANSTHORACIC NEEDLE BIOPSY: ADVANTEGES IN HISTOPATHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR TESTS
2020
Aim: The present study aimed to demonstrate that computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) is a safe procedure that gives a more accurate pre-operative tissue diagnosis for peripheral lung nodules than transthoracic needle aspiration, obtaining suitable samples for molecular test in lung adenocarcinomas. Patients and methods: Between December 2016 and March 2018 at Thoracic Surgery Department of the University of Palermo - Policlinico Paolo Giaccone Hospital, TTNB was performed in 42 patients with computed tomography-detected peripheral lung nodules > 10 mm, using 16-18 -Gauge tru-Cut needles. Results: With TTNB, we have estimated an accuracy for tissue diagnosis of 9…
