Swellings of the major salivary gland commonly lead to the differential diagnosis which includes benign and malignant tumors that are frequently associated with cystic degeneration or entirely cystic de novo. Only 6-9% of major salivary gland swellings are cystic lesions and 2-5 % are non-neoplastic in nature. This is a case report of such an asymptomatic unilateral parotid gland lesion in a 30...

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is considered a low-malignant neoplasm with a good prognosis. However, 5% to 15% of patients with SPNs develop metastatic disease, most commonly in the liver. Metastatic hepatic malignancies that show pseudocystic features are rare. Here we describe the case of a middle-aged female with a cystic liver metastasis from SPN. To the best of our k...

In this report, a rare case of impacted mandibular permanent incisors and supernumerary tooth associated with cystic degeneration and its treatment are described.

Uterine fibroids are most common benign uterine neoplasm occurring in 20-30% of reproductive age. Generally, the sonographic appearance leiomyomas is characteristic; however, they can undergo various kind degenerations that dramatically change their and make diagnosis quite challenging. We hereby describe a case report 31-year-old women who presented with menorrhagia dysmenorrhoea her imaging a...

CONTEXT Schwannomas are benign neoplasms arising from peripheral nerve tissue. Pancreatic schwannoma is a very rare condition. We present the histological and cytological features of a pancreatic schwannoma with cystic degeneration. CASE REPORT A 51-year-old male was diagnosed with a cystic tumor measuring approximately 6 cm in the tail of the pancreas. Distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy w...

Aims: The study cytomorphologic features that distinguish cystic papillary thyroid carcinoma from other cystic thyroid lesions. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in the department of pathology in a tertiary care health centre in north India over the period of one year. Results: Total 70 lesions showed cystic degeneration were included in the study. Out of 70 cases 18 were malign...

Thirty-six leiomyomas from the same number of patients that were heterogeneous on MR imaging were evaluated for analyzing their MR patterns and for differentiating each type of secondary changes by means of MR imaging-pathologic correlation. The tumors with a mean diameter of 9 cm could be classified into 4 patterns depending on the morphological appearance of signal intensity: speckled (n = 14...

OBJECTIVES To describe atypical ultrasound features of parathyroid lesions and correlate them with clinical presentation and histopathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of 264 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent ultrasound imaging prior to parathyroidectomy was performed. Patients with atypical ultrasound findings (n = 26) were identified; imaging findings w...

. Mediastinal cystic formations are well-shaped, often round that contain fluid and lined with epithelium. The main include congenital benign cysts (bronchogenic, duplicating the esophagus, neuroenteric, pericardial thymic cysts), meningocele, mature teratomas lymphangiomas. Many tumors (e.g., thymomas, Hodgkin's disease, germ cell tumors, mediastinal carcinomas, lymph node metastases, nerve ro...
