The Diagnostic Value of Immunohistochemistry and Biomarkers in the Diagnosis of Mesothelioma in Pleural/Peritoneal Effusions

open access: yesDiagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mesothelioma is a rare tumor that arises from the serosal cells lining the serous cavities, most commonly the pleura followed by the peritoneum. Presenting symptoms include pleuritic pain and bloody effusions that recur. Although cytologic analysis cannot determine the mesothelial subtype or in situ from invasive disease, the ...

Targeted Genotyping of MIS-C Patients Reveals a Potential Alternative Pathway Mediated Complement Dysregulation during COVID-19 Infection

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022
Complement dysregulation has been documented in adults with COVID-19 and implicated in relevant pediatric inflammatory responses against SARS-CoV-2. We propose that signatures of complement missense coding SNPs associated with dysregulation could also be

Nodular Fasciitis of the Parotid Gland Mimicking Pleomorphic Adenoma: Cytological Features of a Diagnostic Pitfall

open access: yesDiagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a self‐limiting mesenchymal neoplasm that typically occurs in the subcutaneous tissue of the extremities, trunk, and head and neck region; involvement of the parotid gland is very rare. The cytological features of NF can closely mimic those seen in salivary gland neoplasms, particularly pleomorphic adenoma (PA ...

Atypical Papanicolaou Smear in Pregnancy [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Medicine & Research, 2005
Atypical glandular cells (AGC) in Papanicolaou (Pap) smears can be associated with premalignant and malignant cervical and endometrial lesions. AGC is difficult to diagnose in pregnancy due to confusion with normal cellular changes that accompany graviditas. While guidelines have been established for management of AGC cases in the non-pregnant patient,

Turnaround Time Trends in Cervical Cytology Screening in South Africa, 2005–2023

open access: yesDiagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Timely cervical cytology results are crucial for effective screening and early management of precancerous lesions. However, many low‐ and middle‐income countries face delays in turnaround time (TAT). This study assessed TAT for cytology screening results in South Africa from 2005 to 2023 and identified factors associated with TAT ...

Case Report: Pancreatic Paraganglioma Mimicking a Well‐Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumor: The Importance of Cytokeratin Immunohistochemistry

open access: yesDiagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paragangliomas (PGLs) are uncommon neuroendocrine tumors most commonly found in the head and neck that originate from neural crest cells. Primary pancreatic paraganglioma is exceedingly rare and has largely been described in case reports and small case series. We present the case of a 79‐year‐old woman with an incidental pancreatic head lesion

Utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Supernatant for Real‐Time PCR–Based Mutation Analysis in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

open access: yesDiagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The emergence of personalized therapy and molecular sequencing has significantly transformed the management of advanced non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Supernatants obtained from fine needle aspiration (FNA) have been shown to be a reliable source of high‐quality nucleic acid for molecular testing.

Attitudes to Papanicolaou smears

open access: yesJournal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1996
Preventive health behavior has been defined as behavior aimed at the prevention or detection of disease in an asymptomatic state. When cervical cancer is discovered and treated in the premalignant stage, the cure rate is 95% or higher. The success of the screening program for cervical cancer depends at least partially on women's acceptance of and ...

High acceptability of point‐of‐care HIV testing at the colposcopy outpatient clinic in hospitals in the Netherlands

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 155-162, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Cervical cancer and its precursor are labeled as HIV indicator conditions, justifying the recommendation of HIV testing for all patients. This study aimed to assess the acceptance and patients' and gynecologists' perceptions on HIV testing in patients with cervical dysplasia at the colposcopy outpatient clinic in hospitals in the ...
