The ultrasonography showed a septated cyst located centrally in the liver. The CT abdomen showed a large hypodense multiloculated cystic lesion in the liver with thin enhancing septae and multiple small cysts involving the entire left lobe with extension into the right lobe and having a large infra-hepatic exophytic component. A provisional diagnosis of a Hydatid cyst was made. Drainage of the cyst with laparoscopic deroofing was done. Histopathology examination showed a cyst lined by cuboidal to columnar epithelium with mucinous cytoplasm and basally oriented nuclei. Subepithelium shows ovarian-like stroma. MCN-L has a lower frequency as compared to the counterpart of MCN in the pancreas, and further molecular studies are necessary to clarify the biology of MCN-L. The relevance of this rare entity's clinical and radiological suspicion, histological recognition and immunohistochemistry is emphasised.","PeriodicalId":486471,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pathology and Oncology","volume":"49 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141644684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malignant cells may access the subarachnoid space by hematogenous dissemination, spreading directly from parenchymal brain lesions, or spreading along the spinal cord or cranial nerves. Cytological detection of malignant cells in CSF is still a crucial decision point for systemic and intrathecal chemotherapy, and it has prognostic significance even with improvements in biochemical analysis and CNS imaging. Over the course of two years, a total of 397 patients—regardless of gender and age—were investigated. There were sixty-four cases with involvement of the central nervous system documented, comprising 42 hematologic malignancies and 22 solid tumors. Cell centrifugation (Cytospin) method were used to prepare smears and cell blocks where prepared, as feasible and indicated. : A cytological analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid showed that metastatic tumors were much more prevalent than primary central nervous system tumours. Lung tumors were the most frequent primary site in our analysis, with breast, gastrointestinal, and female genital tract malignancies following closely behind. CNS involvement has been reported in patients with Lymphoma (DLBCL) and Leukemia (most commonly ALL, but also AML and JMML) among hematological malignancies. Two cases of Retinoblastoma and one each of Medulloblastoma and an Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor were observed in the pediatric age group.: Cerebrospinal fluid cytology is a simple and useful method, used as a primary diagnostic method in the evaluation of leptomeningeal metastases.

It provides a uniform diagnostic terminology that enhances communication between pathologists and clinicians. Moreover, it facilitates the evaluation of data and ensures a precise cytologic and histologic correlation of cases. Ultimately, this system is designed to improve patient care by streamlining the diagnosis process and enabling more accurate treatment decisions. Clinical history and cytology smears of salivary gland lesions, which were diagnosed from October 2022 to September 2023, were retrieved in a P.D.U. medical hospital in Rajkot, Gujarat. The cytology smears were all meticulously reviewed and subsequently classified into one of the six categories as prescribed by MSRSGC. With HPE considered the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of FNAC for detecting malignant lesions were meticulously calculated.: A total of 59 salivary gland lesions underwent examination, of which 38 (64.4%) were found in males, and 21 (35.6%) were identified in females.
