Prospective evaluation of the role of fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis and management of patients with palpable solid breast lesions.

To evaluate the role of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the diagnosis and management of patients with palpable, solid and suspicious breast lesions, a total of 107 FNABs were performed on 98 patients under the prospective FNAB protocol. Eight-four FNABs were positive for breast carcinomas; of these 84 positive FNABs, 80 underwent mastectomy without open biopsy or frozen section. Our data showed a sensitivity of 95 per cent and a specificity of 100 per cent for diagnosis of breast malignancies on these patients. We concluded that FNAB is a simple, reliable, and cost-effective diagnostic procedure for patients with palpable breast carcinomas.

Gastric anisakiasis: report of a case with clinical, endoscopic, and histological findings.

A case of gastric anisakiasis in a 45-yr-old Oriental woman who had eaten fresh, raw salmon is reported. This is the second case of gastric anisakiasis reported in the United States. The clinical course, endoscopic features, and histological findings are described. With the increased popularity of Japanese restaurants and sushi bars in the United States, the incidence of anisakiasis can be expected to increase. Clinicians and pathologists should be aware of this unusual parasitic infestation in this country.

Papillary mucinous cystadenoma of probable renal pelvic origin in a horseshoe kidney.

A 59-year-old woman underwent a partial nephrectomy to remove a 7-cm cystic mass involving the left portion of a horseshoe kidney. Microscopically, the cyst was lined by tall columnar mucosecretory cells resembling endocervical cells. The lesion is believed to represent the benign counterpart of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis.

Method for screening urinary steroids by gas chromatography.

Numerous methods are available for measuring urinary steroids in evaluating endocrine dysfunctions. Measurements of these particular steroids, or groups of them, usually involve tedious isolation methods, corrections for interferences and losses of the steroid, and (or) expensive reagents. We show how gas-liquid chromatography provides a rapid, sensitive, and direct method for several steroid metabolites in urine. Androstanol, androsterone, etiocholanolone, dehydroisoandrosterone, pregnanediol, pregnanetriol, 11-keto-17-ketosteroids, and the 11beta-hydroxy-17-ketosteroids can be identified and quantified.

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the lung. Fine needle aspiration cytologic features.

A case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the lung occurring in a 71-year-old woman is presented. The preoperative aspiration cytology showed a large-cell, undifferentiated, malignant neoplasm suggestive of carcinoma. Subsequent histologic examination revealed a primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopic and immunohistochemical studies. Cytologic features of this rare primary pulmonary sarcoma are discussed.

Primary amyloidosis presenting as a unilateral hilar mass. Report of a case diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy.

A case of unilateral hilar amyloidosis in a 69-year-old man was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy and confirmed by ultrastructural studies. The roentgenographic presentation of amyloidosis solely as a unilateral hilar enlargement is extremely rare, with only one case previously reported in the English literature; this appears to be the first case of hilar amyloidosis diagnosed by FNA biopsy.
