    Notizen: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNA) has a well-documented role in the diagnosis of cysticercosis. However, little is discussed about the associated inflammatory response in the host tissues. Aspirates from 182 cases of subcutaneous cysticercosis were semiquantitated for the type and degree of inflammatory response, and the amount and preservation of the parasite. Tissue sections were reviewed where available. In the FNA where no parasite was observed but a confirmatory tissue diagnosis was available, it was found that eosinophils (52%), epithelioid cell granulomas (30%), palisading histiocytes (33%) and giant cells (28%) were seen less frequently than in those where larval fragments were identified in the aspirated material in varying quantities, the response being 88–92% eosinophils, 50–70% palisading histiocytes, 68–80% epithelioid cell granulomas and 46–74% giant cells. Repair cells were maximally seen when readily identifiable larval fragments were seen in the aspirate. Bizarre cells were equally distributed in these aspirates. The tissue response in FNA from subcutaneous cysticercosis can be varied and eosinophils are found to increase with the presence of the degenerating parasite. In soft-tissue aspirates, palisading histiocytes with epithelioid cell granulomas with or without giant cells and an inflammatory exudate with predominantly eosinophils alerts one to search diligently for a parasite.

    Notizen: Background Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder of unknown aetiology that may present as a multisystem or unisystem disease. The Lymph nodes can be involved as part of disseminated disease, as a metastatic site draining a focus of LCH or may be a unisystem involvement. Paucity of literature on the cytomorphology of LCH in lymph nodes led us to undertake this study.Materials and methods Nine cases with a confirmed histological diagnosis of LCH and a prior lymph node aspirate were retrieved over a 12 year period (1988–1999). Five more cases were reviewed where the cytological diagnosis of LCH was rendered on a background of clinical and radiological findings. Papanicolaou and May Grunwald–Giemsa-stained smears were examined. S-100 protein staining was available in four cases.Results and conclusions Nine cases had multisystem involvement, while in five cases only lymph nodes were involved. There were eleven males and three females; age ranged from five months to 27 years. The cytological diagnosis of LCH had been rendered in six, suspected in four and missed in four. Of the latter, two were reclassified as LCH on review, one as reactive lymphadenitis and in one a necrotising lesion was suspected. The pathognomonic ‘LCH cell’ was identified in 12 of 14 cases along with varying numbers of eosinophils, polymorphs and lymphocytes. Giant cells were seen in only six cases. In conclusion lymph node involvement by LCH can be identified on aspirates. However, LCH must be differentiated from dermatopathic lymphadenitis, sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy and Hodgkin's disease.

    Notizen: Objectives:  Neural tumours of the neck may at times secondarily involve the thyroid and manifest clinically as thyroid nodules. On cytological evaluation these nodules may be confused with other spindle lesions of the thyroid. We report two cases of schwannoma and one case of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) of the neck, which presented as thyroid nodules and evaluate the role of cytology in identifying these tumours.Methods:  The thyroid nodules in all the three cases were sampled by the non-aspiration technique using a 23-gauge needle. Both alcohol-fixed and air-dried smears were prepared and stained by the Papanicolaou and May–Grünwald-Giemsa stains. Cytology smears and histology sections from the resected specimens were reviewed, and the findings noted.Results:  Both the cases of schwannoma were correctly identified on cytology while the case of MPNST could only be typed as a spindle cell tumour. However, on cytology it was not possible to state whether the tumours were thyroidal or extrathyroidal in origin.Conclusions:  Schwannomas of the neck are easily identifiable on cytology compared with MPNST. However, cytology alone is not helpful in identifying the origin of these tumours. As primary neural tumours of the thyroid are rare, the possibility of a soft tissue neural tumour extending into the thyroid should always be ruled out while evaluating these cases.

    Notizen: Objective:  Endometriosis due to ectopic endometrial tissue that responds to hormonal stimulation and is extremely rare in a surgical scar appearing in 0.1% of women who have undergone Caesarean section. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can be a valuable diagnostic aid in the evaluation of these subcutaneous abdominal masses.Methods:  We present the cytomorphological spectrum in eight cases of abdominal wall endometriosis diagnosed by FNAC over a 6-year period (June 1998–June 2004) in Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital (Kuwait). The patients ranged from 27 to 56 years of age. Seven had a prior Caesarean section and one had a hysterectomy for fibroid. They presented 3–8 years later with nodules in/near the abdominal scar. Five cases presented with a painful nodule, fluctuant with the menstrual cycle.Results:  Cytological findings comprised epithelial clusters and fusiform stromal cells with numerous haemosiderin-laden macrophages. Mild to moderate epithelial atypia was observed in three cases. A diagnosis of endometriosis was rendered in all the eight cases and tissue was available in four cases.Conclusions:  Endometriotic nodules need to be differentiated from other benign/malignant masses and evaluated for possible malignant transformation. FNAC provides a safe and effective tool for diagnosis thereby obviating the need for other procedures.

    Notizen: kumar n., kapila k. and verma k. (1998) Cytopathology9, 301–307Characterization of tubular adenoma of breast—diagnostic problem in fine needle aspirates (FNAs)FNA smears from six histologically documented cases of tubular adenoma of breast were critically analysed and compared with 10 histologically confirmed cases of fibroadenoma (five pericanalicular and five intracanalicular). Initially a cytological diagnosis of tubular adenoma was rendered only in one case. On review, two cases could be characterized as tubular adenoma, while the findings were suggestive in two others. The features helpful in diagnosis of tubular adenoma were the presence of benign ductal cells as three-dimensional cohesive balls and tubular structures in highly cellular smears. Stroma was conspicuously scanty or absent. Myoepithelial cells were present along with sheets of ductal cells as well as bipolar naked nuclei. Confusion with fibroadenoma occurred in two cases due to presence of a stag-horn pattern of ductal cells.

    Notizen: Introduction:  Intracytoplasmic lumens (ICL) with or without magenta material and transgressing vessels are features of Hürthle cell neoplasms (HCN). After detection of intracytoplasmic colloid inclusions (CIs) including targetoid (magenta) body-like structures in the Hürthle cells (HC) in a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), we reviewed cases of HT, thyroid neoplasms, hyperplastic nodules (HN) and colloid goitres to determine the frequency of these structures. Further, an attempt was made to find out the significance of CIs.Methods:  FNA smears of 120 HT, 101 colloid goitres, 11 HN, and 76 neoplastic goitres were examined. The presence of CIs and empty ICL were noted in epithelial cells in these lesions. An attempt was made to find out the difference between HT with and without CIs in respect of various cytomorphologic features. The groups were compared using the Fisher's exact test of probability.Results:  The CIs were present in 36 (30.0%) of HT, 26 (34.2%) of neoplastic goitres, 3 (27.3%) of HN, and 4 (4.0%) colloid goitres. As compared to colloid goitres, CIs were present in a significant higher number of cases in HN (P = 0.0202), neoplastic goitres (P 〈 0.0001), and HT (P 〈 0.0001). Among neoplasms the frequency of CIs in HCN (75.0%) was significantly higher than that of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) (33.3%, P = 0.0466), and follicular neoplasm (14.3%, P = 0.0083). The CIs were more frequent in HC in HT and HCN but in follicular cells (FC) in other lesions. The HT cases with CIs differed significantly from those without CIs in respect of HC and their cellularity, cellularity of reactive lymphoid cells, extracellular colloid and empty ICL.Conclusion:  Care should be taken not to diagnose HT cases with an excessive Hürthle cell component and CIs, and PTC cases with Hürthlization and CIs, as HCN in FNA smears. Based on review of the literature and our findings, it is suggested that the Hürthle cell metaplasia in HT is a survival response of FC and the presence of CIs in Hürthle cell may represent their limited ability to synthesize colloid.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Die Verträglichkeit des Ciprofloxacin nach Anwendung bei 634 Jugendlichen und Kindern im Alter von drei Tagen bis 17 Jahren wurde analysiert. 62% der Behandlungen mit Ciprofloxacin erhielten Patienten mit Atemwegsinfektionen, insbesondere mit akuter pulmonaler Exazerbation der Mukoviszidose. Der Mittelwert der oralen Tagesdosis war 25,2 mg/kg Körpergewicht. Die Therapiedauer variierte zwischen 1 und 880 Tagen (Mittelwert 22,8 Tage). Wegen der gelenkknorpelschädigenden Wirkung der Chinolone bei juvenilen Versuchstieren wurde besondere Aufmerksamkeit der Beurteilung der mit Gelenken verbundenen Nebenerscheinungen gewidmet. Arthralgie, die von den behandelnden Ärzten als Folge der Ciprofloxacin-Behandlung beurteilt wurde, ist bei acht Kindern berichtet worden. Alle waren weiblich. Die Arthralgie verschwand bei allen Kindern. Einige dieser Kinder erhielten nachträgliche Behandlungen mit Ciprofloxacin ohne Auftreten arthralgischer Beschwerden. Generell unterschied sich das Verträglichkeitsprofil bei Kindern nicht wesentlich von dem der Erwachsenen.
    Notizen: Summary Six hundred and thirty four adolescents and children aged three days to 17 years treated with ciprofloxacin on a compassionate basis were analysed for drug safety. 62% of the ciprofloxacin courses were given to patients with respiratory tract infection, primarily those with acute pulmonary exacerbation of cystic fibrosis. The mean daily oral dose was 25.2 mg/kg body weight. The duration of treatment ranged from one to 880 days (mean 22.8 days). Because of the arthropathogenic potential of quinolones in juvenile animals special emphasis was placed on the evaluation of musculoskeletal adverse events. Arthralgia considered by the treating physicians to be related to ciprofloxacin was reported in eight children, all of whom were females. Arthralgia resolved in all children. Some of these children were given subsequent courses of ciprofloxacin with no complaints of arthralgia. Overall, the safety profile of ciprofloxacin in children is not substantially different from that of adults.
