Abstract

Female urethral syndrome is very common, but its etiology is not yet known completely and its management is somehow difficult. Up to now, there have been quite a number of reports about the female prostate, whose inflammation is possibly the major cause of female urethral syndrome.

Ductal metaplasia in chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis as a manifestation of phylogenic regression to an exocrine structure.

From a morphologic and functional point of view the thyroid can be considered as both an exocrine and endocrine organ. Firstly, thyroglobulin is secreted at the apical pole of the thyrocyte. Secondly, after endocytosis thyroglobulin is lysed and T3 and T4 are secreted at the basal pole into the bloodstream. However, usually exocrine glands are constituted of 2 well separate components: an acinus/alveolar component and an exocrine duct component. Under particular conditions such as chronic injury the acinus/alveolar component is rapidly destroyed, whereas the ductal component seems to be far more resistant and can proliferate giving rise to a tubular network described as "ductulus reaction" or "ductal metaplasia." Normal exocrine ducts and metaplastic ducts exhibit common genetic and phenotypic features directly related to their tubular morphology. In this study, we describe in lymphocytic autoimmune thyroiditis the appearance of ductal-like structures which displayed the features of ductal metaplasia.

Atypical glandular cells.

The 2001 Bethesda System has radically altered the classification of glandular abnormalities. The recognition of the cytologic features of atypical glandular cells on cervicovaginal smears is important because a significant number of patients will be found to have an underlying cancerous or dysplastic lesion of the exocervix, endocervix, or endometrium. The differential diagnosis of AGC on cytology is diverse and accurate classification is necessary because the most appropriate form of follow-up depends on the specific subcategorization of the atypical glandular cells. Because the level of interobserver agreement in the diagnosis of AGC is poor, effective communication between cytopathologists and clinicians is essential to accurately triage these patients. This article should help the cytology practitioner by providing a comprehensive review of the approach to the interpretation, clinical significance, histopathologic correlation, and management of patients who have atypical glandular cells on gynecologic cytology specimens.

Female prostatitis.

Female prostatitis is described as a frequent cause of the urethral syndrome. Appropriate localization of tenderness to the paraurethral glands allows the diagnosis and treatment of female prostatitis as in its male counterpart. All urologists are urged to adopt the finger pressure (Fig. 3) maneuver in the pelvic examinations of their female patients.
