We describe a unique case of an angiosarcoma arising in the vaginal vault 21 years after hysterectomy and radiotherapy for stage I carcinoma of the cervix. We also review the literature regarding angiosarcomas arising after previous radiation therapy for gynecologic malignancies.
A retrospective review of cancer of breast in Papua New Guinean females for a period of 10 years revealed an annual reporting rate of 2.7 per 100,000. It contributed to 4.8% of all malignancies. The islands region has the highest incidence. The most common age group at diagnosis was 40-49 years. Histologically invasive ductal carcinomas formed 66% of the tumours. Resembling the African experience, the incidence of breast carcinoma in Papua New Guinea appears to be low and most patients report quite late.
Fine needle aspiration cytology has become a very popular investigative procedure in many parts of the world for the diagnosis and management of primary neoplasms. Nevertheless the technique is still not very familiar to most clinicians in Papua New Guinea. Hence this paper provides a brief review of fine needle aspiration biopsy with special emphasis on its methodology, applications and usefulness in a Papua New Guinean setting and on its limitations. It is hoped that such a simple procedure will be used more often in future for tumour diagnosis.
