Psammoma bodies in cervicovaginal smears

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2001
To estimate the prevalence of psammoma bodies in routine cervical cytology specimens and describe clinical diagnoses associated with them in pre- and postmenopausal women.We identified all reports that contained psammoma bodies from a retrospective review of 34,816 cytology reports over 4 consecutive years from the computerized pathology database at ...

Endometrioid Endometrial Adenocarcinoma with Psammoma Bodies

The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 1997
Since the wide acceptance of serous carcinoma as a distinct subtype of endometrial carcinoma, almost all endometrial carcinomas with psammoma bodies have been classified as such. We describe eight cases of endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma with psammoma bodies and discuss their clinicopathologic features.

Psammoma Bodies in Papillary Adenocarcinoma of the Endocervix

International Journal of Gynecological Pathology, 1983
Psammoma bodies have never previously been noted in conjunction with cervical cancer. This paper presents a case of endocervical adenocarcinoma with psammoma bodies. Malignant and benign lesions which have previously been associated with psammoma bodies are reviewed. The proposed mechanisms of psammoma body formation are considered.

Cerebellar gliofibroma with numerous psammoma bodies

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2006
A case of psammoma body rich gliofibroma is reported. Computed tomography (CT) showed a high-density mass without contrast enhancement in the right cerebellar hemisphere. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) demonstrated a mass with a mixture of high- and iso-intensity regions without meningeal attachment on both T1- and T2-weighted images.

Microcalcifications and Psammoma Bodies in Thyroid Tumors

Thyroid, 2008
Microcalcifications are a highly specific sign of malignancy being frequently detected in papillary or medullary cancers, while only 5% of nodular goiters and 3-4% of adenomas show this feature on thyroid sonogram. They correspond to clusters of psammoma bodies at cytological or histological examination.

Intradermal Nevus With Psammoma Body Formation

Archives of Dermatology, 1968
An unusual case of intradermal nevus with psammoma body formation of the face in an elderly man is reported. Derivation of the psammoma bodies from degenerative nevus cells is postulated. The possibility of some peculiar biological characteristics accounting for the development of the psammoma bodies in this intradermal nevus is noted.

The Fine Structure of Psammoma Bodies in Meningocytic Whorls

Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, 1984
Psammoma bodies within meningocytic whorls in five cases of meningioma were examined by electron microscopy. The cells comprising the meningocytic whorls showed the conventional ultrastructural features of meningothelial cells with interdigitations and interconnections by means of junctional complexes.

Psammoma bodies in cervicovaginal smears: Incidence and significance

Diagnostic Cytopathology, 2002
AbstractPsammoma bodies (PB) are seen in a wide variety of gynecologic conditions. However, only a few reports address the incidence or significance of PB in cervicovaginal smears (CVS). Twenty patients with PBs in CVS were identified over a 5‐yr period during which time 82,840 CVS were screened.

Duodenal somatostatin-containing tumor with psammoma bodies

Human Pathology, 1985
A duodenal tumor was found in a 68-year-old woman undergoing routine cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis associated with cholelithiasis. Microscopically, the tumor contained glandular structures and psammoma bodies. Electron microscopic examination demonstrated numerous intracytoplasmic neurosecretory granules consistent with endocrine D cells ...

PSAMMOMA BODIES IN CANCER OF LUNG

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1960
To the Editor:— In their article on psammoma bodies and cancer of the thyroid (abstracted inThe Journal, Nov. 28, page 1901) Klink and Winship stated that these bodies occur in a large percentage of patients with cancer of the thyroid and that "A biopsy specimen of a lung tumor that contains psammoma bodies should suggest the thyroid as a possible ...
