Metastatic prostatic stromal sarcoma: A challenging diagnosis on fine-needle aspiration with broad differential diagnosis

چکیده
Prostatic stromal sarcomas (PSS) are rare solid organ mesenchymal sarcomas. PSS may pose difficult diagnostic challenges on fine needle aspiration biopsy. We report a 48-year-old man diagnosed with metastatic high grade prostatic stromal sarcoma by a CT-scan guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of a right lower lung lobe nodule. We reviewed the literature on the epidemiologic, cyto-histological, and immunophenotypic findings and discussed the differential diagnosis for this rare entity.

Metastatic Monophasic Synovial Sarcoma: A challenging Diagnosis on Fine Needle Aspiration with Broad Differential Diagnosis
Synovial sarcomas (SS) are rare soft tissue sarcomas that usually arise near large extremity joints. SS may pose difficult diagnostic challenges on cytology when encountered as a monophasic variant. We report a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic monophasic synovial sarcoma by a CT-scan guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of a left lower lung lobe nodule. We reviewed the literatu...
متن کاملFine needle aspiration study of the abdominal cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules
Background: Abdominal cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules are uncommon benign or malignant lesions. The majority of the malignant nodules are metastatic in origin and may be the initial presentation of a primary malignancy; hence, an early diagnosis is important. Our aim of this study was to find out the spectrum of lesions (both non-neoplastic and neoplastic) that present as cutaneous and subcu...

Metastases to the breast are unusual lesions that make up approximately 2% of all malignant mammary neoplasms and may mimic both benign and malignant primary neoplasms from a clinical point of view, as well as in imaging studies. Arriving at a correct diagnosis is therefore essential in order to establish appropriate management. We present three cases of metastatic neoplasms diagnosed through f...
متن کاملDiagnostic pitfalls of pilomatricoma on fine needle aspiration cytology
Pilomatricoma is a benign skin adnexal tumour usually seen in the head and neck region of children and young adults. It is underrecognized on cytology, resulting in the overdiagnosis of malignancy. We bring forth a case report of a slow growing nodular swelling in a 10-year-old female child, which was misdiagnosed on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) as a malignant neoplasm and found to be...
