چکیده

F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans are positive in any condition which increases metabolism in a mass or tissue and are therefore not specific for neoplastic conditions. The use of an SUV cutoff value of 2.5 may not always help discriminate between benign and malignant cases. For a practicing cytopathologist doing adequacy checks during an image-guided procedure, it may be of value to be aware that elevated SUV values are not always indicative of a malignant process, and vice versa.

Evaluation of Soft Tissue Tumors by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Its Correlation with Histopathology: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Care Center

Background and objectives: Soft tissue is a non-epithelial extraskeletal tissue of the body. Soft tissue tumors (STTs) are the most commonly diagnosed neoplasms. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is minimally invasive, quick, and a definitive diagnostic modality. Biopsy for histopathology is the gold standard method for diagnosis but is invasive. The aims of this study were to determine th...

Fine needle aspiration outcomes of masses detected by positron emission tomography: correlation with standard uptake value.

OBJECTIVES To characterize the cytopathologic outcome of lesions detected on positron emission tomography (PET) scan. STUDY DESIGN Cases with fine needle aspiration (FNA) performed because of a PET-positive lesion over an 18-month period were reviewed. Correlation with the standard uptake value (SUV) (using 2.5 as a cutoff value) was carried out. RESULTS A total of 112 FNAs were found, of w...
