Fine-needle aspiration of dedifferentiated acinic cell carcinoma: Report of a case with cyto-histological correlation.

29 Sep 2009 Dedifferentiated Acinic Cell Carcinoma (DAcCC) is a rare salivary gland malignancy. It has a high tendency to recur and metastasize and thus has a poor prognosis. So far, to our knowledge, only one case of DAcCC has been reported in the cytology ... Read more...

Radiotherapy for cutaneous squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the head and neck.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To discuss the role of radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of cutaneous squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the head and neck. METHODS: Review of the pertinent literature. RESULTS: The likelihood of cure with a good cosmetic ... Read more...

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of pleural metastases from a carcinosarcoma or true malignant mixed tumor of the parotid gland mimicking a mesothelioma.

30 Aug 2009 Malignant mixed tumor of the parotid is known to have odd sites for metastases. We describe the fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) findings of pleural metastasis from a malignant mixed tumor misdiagnosed as a mesothelioma on cytology at the ... Read more...
