Diagnóstico citológico de las recidivas tumorales de ameloblastoma: presentación de dos casos clínicos
Introducción: Los ameloblastomas son los tumores odontogénicos más frecuentes del maxilar. A pesar de su aspecto citohistológico de benignidad, se comportan como tumores invasivos, recidivantes y con posibilidad de metastatizar. La P.A.A.F. es una prueba rápida e incruenta que proporciona un diagnóstico prequirúrgico evitando, en ocasiones, tomas biópsicas destinadas al diagnóstico. Presentamos las características citológicas de dos casos de recidiva yugal de ameloblastoma de rama mandibular diagnosticados por PAAF, así como su correlación citohistológica. Casos clínicos: Dos pacientes, una mujer de 36 años y un varón de 62 años, que acuden por tumoración mandibular de escasos meses de evol…
Thyroid papillary carcinoma infarction after fine needle aspiration
Complications following fine needle aspiration (FNA) are very infrequent and generally resolve spontaneously without treatment. The appearance of necrosis or infarction after FNA of the thyroid gland is an exceptional finding. An 83-year-old woman with a thyroid nodule was subjected to diagnostic FNA using a G23 needle. The patient noted a decrease in nodule size after FNA. A total thyroidectomy was performed 36 days after FNA. The cytological diagnosis was papillary carcinoma. Histology revealed massive coagulation necrosis affecting 80% of the tumor mass; the cytological diagnosis was confirmed. Iron pigment deposits were observed in the vicinity of the necrotic areas together with inters…
Aplicacion de la PAAF en el diagnostico de masas mediastinicas. Correlación cito-histologica
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is found to be a useful and non invasive technique in the presurgical diagnosis of intrathoracic masses. In the present study we report our findings from a total of 33 mediastinal aspiration punctures, performed over the past 24 months. In 24 of the 33 puntures, the lesion was either previously biopsied or surgically removed, which allowed for the corresponding cytohistological correlations. The cytological diagnosis demonstrated 12 cases of malignancy, 2 cases of benign lesions and 5 cases of negative tumours. It was possible to establish the cellular lineage in only 8 cases without specifying the benignity or malignancy of the lesion (2 neural tumours, 2 thymo…
