Fine-needle aspiration cytology of primary Kaposi's sarcoma of lymph nodes in an immunocompetent man.

This case report describes the fine-needle aspiration (FNA) findings of primary lymphadenopathic Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in a 44-year-old African heterosexual male who is immunocompetent and has no clinical or serological evidence of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or the endemic form of KS. The cytological findings emphasize the role of FNA in the diagnosis of KS and draw the attention to the fact that a diagnosis of KS in an African man is not synonymous with the diagnosis of AIDS or endemic/African KS. A description of other spindle cell intranodal lesions which may mimick KS is given with a discussion of the differential diagnoses that should be considered in such cases by the cytopathologist.

The wisdom tooth is the last permanent tooth to erupt into the oral cavity. Its eruption, however, can be impeded and the tooth may become impacted. The incidence of such a condition may be influenced by local as well as racial factors. In this article, an attempt was made to establish the incidence of impacted wisdom teeth in a small sample of the Saudi population.

Fractures of the zygomatic complex in the south-east region of Scotland.

With the ever increasing of facial trauma, a study has been carried out on some aspects of zygomatic complex fractures in a part of Scotland. The results were different in some aspects from those reported in the literature, but they endorse the findings of a similar study which was carried out in the Eastern regions of Scotland (Hitchen & Shuker, 1973).
