Fulltext Bilateral Carotid Body Tumours

Amran, A.R., Jayaram, G., Kumar, G.

International Medical Journal Malaysia, 2006;5(1):1-6.
MyJurnal

Paragangliomas are slow growing hypervascular tumour arising from neural crest cell derivatives throughout the body. In the head and neck region, the major paraganglial cells are located at the carotid bifurcation (carotid body), along the ganglia of the vagus nerve and along the nerves supplying the middle ear and jugular bulb. Less common locations include the larynx, orbit, nose and the aortic arch. Carotid body tumours are very rare neoplasms constituting less than 0.5% of all tumours. The true nature of the tumour is established at the time of attempted biopsy or surgical resection, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Only a few of the more than 500 cases reported in the literature have been studied and diagnosed preoperatively. These tumours must be considered in the evaluation of any lateral neck mass, even one located far from the carotid bifurcation. We report a case of bilateral carotid body tumours detected using 16-slice MDHCT in a patient who presented with pulsatile neck swelling for two years. This tumour is rarely malignant; however it produces serious problems by its progressive enlargement and impairment of adjacent structures in the neck. The treatment of choice is surgical resection; preferably to excise this lesion when it is small, because large, very vascular tumours are intimately attached to the carotid vessels and make surgical resection more hazardous. Pre-operative embolization can be performed in large tumours, as to facilitates surgery and reduce complication. In most of the cases, there is strong attachment of the tumour to the carotid arteries. When this is the situation, removal of the tumour means complete excision of both great arteries as well, and the mortality rate is 40 to 45 %. When surgical removal is not feasible, radiotherapy may help to control the tumour growth, although the results have not been encouraging. As it is very slow growing tumour with the growth rate of less than 5 mm per year tumours in old patients with significant risk factors for surgical intervention can be managed by observation alone.

Chan SP, Hew FL, Jayaram G, Kumar G, Chang KW, Tay A

Ann Acad Med Singap, 2001 Jan;30(1):66-70.
PMID: 11242630

INTRODUCTION: Although the majority of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have a relatively asymptomatic benign disorder, there are patients who have a more aggressive disorder.
CLINICAL PICTURE: We report a case of primary hyperparathyroidism presenting during pregnancy complicated by antepartum haemorrhage and severe prematurity. The diagnosis was made postpartum, when her problems rapidly progressed to result in severe neuromuscular weakness, bilateral pathological hip fractures as well as nephrolithiasis.
TREATMENT: Surgical parathyroidectomy was performed. The underlying lesion was a large solitary parathyroid adenoma with cystic elements.
CONCLUSION: Primary hyperparathyroidism is not an innocuous disease and can result in severe morbidity if left untreated.

PMID: 16329565

Filariasis, a parasitic infection endemic in parts of India, Myanmar, islands of the South Pacific, West and East Africa and Saudi Arabia can be diagnosed from various types of cytopathological specimens. This case documents the detection of filarial infection from hydrocele fluid cytology in a 30-year-old Myanmar migrant worker in Malaysia.
Fulltext MRI appearances of peritoneal mesothelioma--a case report

Hashim S, Abdullah BJJ, Jayaram G

Med J Malaysia, 1999 Sep;54(3):358-60.
PMID: 11045063

A rare case of diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in a 71 year-old Malay man with no previous history of asbestos or radiation exposure is described. The clinical manifestation was a large abdominal mass. At laparotomy he was found to be in the advanced stage of the disease. The tumour was not resectable and patient was sent home. He gradually deteriorated and died three months after diagnosis was made. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of peritoneal mesothelioma which has not been previously reported are described.
Nucleolar organizer regions distribution in fine needle aspiration cytological smears from breast lesions

Hasnan J, Jayaram G

Malays J Pathol, 1996 Jun;18(1):35-41.
PMID: 10879223

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is now an integral part of the pre-operative investigation of breast lesions and the therapeutic protocol is today often planned on the basis of cytodiagnosis. However, from time to time the cytological picture may be equivocal or inconclusive. In recent years, nucleolar organizer region (NOR) scores have been explored for potential value in the diagnosis of malignancy as the scores in malignant nuclei are seen to be higher than in benign or reactive nuclei. With a view to applying NOR scoring in the evaluation of cytologically equivocal cases, we adopted the argyrophil technique for staining NOR s (AgNOR) in FNA cytological smears of 56 breast lesions, comprising 31 benign and 25 malignant lesions. Histological correlation was possible in 26 of these cases (17 malignant and 9 benign) and AgNOR scoring was done on paraffin sections of these as well. There was a significant difference between mean AgNOR scores in benign and malignant lesions in the cytological smears (P < 0.001). The AgNOR scores ranged from 2.5 to 5.0 per cell in benign lesions and 5.8 to 17.2 per cell in malignant lesions. None of the cases fell into the gray zone of overlap. One malignant lesion that was cytologically equivocal showed a mean AgNOR score of 6.08. The AgNOR scores on histological sections also showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) between benign and malignant lesions with mean scores ranging from 1.34 to 2.58 dots per cell in benign lesions and scores of 2.42 to 5.28 dots per cell in malignant lesions. However, the scores overlapped in four cases and therefore it was considered unsuitable for routine diagnostic work. From this preliminary study, we conclude that an FNA AgNOR score of 5.0 and less strongly favours a benign lesion whereas a score above 5.0 would be in favour of a malignant lesion. A larger study would be needed to verify our impression that AgNOR scoring can be useful in cytologically equivocal cases.
Papillary carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst

Jayalakshmi P, Prepageran N, Jayaram G, Gopalakrishnan

Malays J Pathol, 2002 Jun;24(1):67-70.
PMID: 16329558

A 21-year-old lady was admitted with a one year history of painless swelling in the neck. The clinical features and radiological findings suggested a thyroglossal duct cyst. Histology of the excised duct cyst showed papillary carcinoma. Ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland was normal. The patient is on regular follow-up and is well two years following surgery.
Papillary breast lesions diagnosed on cytology. Profile of 65 cases

Jayaram G, Elsayed EM, Yaccob RB

Acta Cytol., 2007 Jan-Feb;51(1):3-8.
PMID: 17328487

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the cytologic features of nipple discharge and fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytologic smears from breast lesions reported as showing papillary features and to correlate them with histopathologic features.

STUDY DESIGN: The study group consisted of FNA smears and/or nipple discharge smears from 65 breast lesions diagnosed on cytology as duct papilloma, papillary lesion, fibrocystic condition, fibroadenoma, papillary neoplasm or papillary carcinoma. Cytomorphologic features assessed included cellularity, cell pattern (clusters, papillary, 3-dimensionality, etc.) and cell characteristics (monomorphism, pleomorphism, apocrine change, plasmacytoid features). Histological material was available for review and cytohistologic correlation in all cases.

RESULTS: Forty-six specimens were FNA smears, and 16 were nipple discharge smears; in 3 cases FNA and nipple discharge cytologic smears were available for review. Cytologic study could predict the presence of a papillary pattern in all neoplasms with pure or focal papillary differentiation. There was an overlap in cytomorphologic features between papillary and nonpapillary benign lesions as well as between benign and malignant papillary neoplasms. Frank blood in the aspirate, cell dissociation and atypia, however, were more frequent in the last.

CONCLUSION: Overlap of cytologic features in nonneoplastic and neoplastic benign papillary lesions and between benign and malignant papillary neoplasms necessitates histologic evaluation in all cases diagnosed as papillary on cytology. Since 49.2% of lesions showing papillary features on cytology prove to be malignant, all cases reported as papillary on cytology should be excised urgently for histologic assessment.
Carcinosarcoma of the palate: report of a case with a diagnosis of sarcomatoid metastasis by fine needle aspiration cytology

Jayaram G, Elsayed EM

Acta Cytol., 2005 Sep-Oct;49(5):520-4.
PMID: 16334029

BACKGROUND: Carcinosarcoma (sarcomatoid carcinoma) is a rare tumor with a high predilection for the aerodigestive tract. Cytologic diagnosis of metastatic carcinosarcoma has been reported in very few cases.

CASE: An 84-year-old woman presented with a 2-cm-diameter, right cervical lymph node that was referred for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). She had received radiotherapy for a palatal squamous cell carcinoma 2 years earlier. The FNAC smears had a sarcomatoid appearance. Repeat fine needle aspiration was performed, with cytologic and immunocytochemical staining. Careful consideration of the cytologic and immunophenotypic features led to an impression of carcinosarcoma. Histologic sections of the palatal biopsy that had been previously diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma were reviewed, and a final diagnosis of carcinosarcoma was established.

CONCLUSION: Metastasis of rare lesions, such as carcinosarcoma may be confusing and difficult to diagnose on FNAC, especially when the cytologic sample shows a predominantly sarcomatoid component. The difficulty is compounded when the sarcomatoid component happens to have been overlooked on the initial histologic assessment. With representative cytologic sampling, immunocytochemical staining and review of the histologic material, the correct diagnosis was achieved in this case.

PMID: 16450899

To type breast carcinomaon on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) material and correlate the results with histologic typing, to grade breast carcinoma on FNAC material and correlate the findings with Bloom-Richardson histologic grading, and to determine the estrogen receptor (ER) status in cases of breast carcinoma by immunocytochemical (ICC) staining of FNA cytologic material and correlate the findings with ER status, as determined by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of tissue sections.

STUDY DESIGN: Seventy-seven cases of breast carcinoma diagnosed on FNAC formed the basis of this study. Typing was done in all cases on the basis of cytologic features and grading in 62. (Fifteen cases were special types of breast carcinoma). In all cases, ER status was determined by immunostaining of cytologic smears. Results of tumor typing, grading and ER status on cytologic material were compared with the results of histologic typing, grading and immunostaining of histologic material obtained from mastectomy or wide excision specimens.

RESULTS: Tumor typing was accurate in 73 of 77 cases (94.8%). Fifteen of 18 cases that were cytologically grade 3 were confirmed on histology, while 3 proved to be grade 2. Of 40 cytologic grade 2 cases, 26 were confirmed on histology, while 14 cases were grade 3. Three of 4 cytologically grade 1 cases were confirmed on histology while 1 was grade 2. The overall accuracy for cytologic grading was 71% (44 of 62 cases). Thirty-seven of 40 ER-positive cases (92.5%) were labeled ER positive on ICC. One case was ER negative on cytology, while in 2 cases the cellularity of the cytologic smear was insufficient to assess ER expression. Thirty-seven cases were negativefor ER on IHC. Nine of these showed ER positivity on ICC, 26 were negative, and 2 had cellularity that was inadequate for assessment of ER. Sensitivity and specificity rates for ER detection on ICC were 97.4% and 74.3%, respectively.

CONCLUSION: Tumor typing, grading and evaluation of ER status on FNA C material in breast carcinomas are simple, quick and moderately reliable techniques that compare and correlate favorably with histologic typing, grading and ER status on IHC.
Leiomyosarcoma of the breast: report of a case with fine needle aspiration cytologic, histologic and immunohistochemical features

Jayaram G, Jayalakshmi P, Yip CH

Acta Cytol., 2005 Nov-Dec;49(6):656-60.
PMID: 16450908

BACKGROUND: Leiomyosarcoma of the breast is a rare neoplasm. We present a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the breast in a middle-aged female in whom fine needle aspiration cytologic features suggested sarcoma.

CASE: A 55-year-old female presented with a rapidly growing breast lump of 1 month's duration. On examination, an ulcerating, 12 x 10 cm tumor was seen involving the lower medial and lateral quadrants of the right breast. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed variably sized, dissociated and loosely clustered polygonal, plump and spindle cells with pale blue cytoplasm and vesicular nuclei that were round, oval or irregular. Occasional giant forms and nucleolated and mitotic cells were present. A single cluster of benign ductal cells was seen. The tumor cells did not express immunocytologic reactivity to estrogen receptor protein. A cytologic diagnosis of sarcoma was given with differential diagnoses of metaplastic carcinoma and malignant phyllodes tumor. Histologic study established the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma of the breast shows fine needle aspiration cytologic features of sarcoma, but specific tumor typing may not be possible, especially when the cytologic material is inadequate for ancillary staining required to distinguish leiomyosarcoma from metaplastic carcinoma and malignant phyllodes tumor.
Cytology of mucinous carcinoma of breast: a report of 28 cases with histological correlation

Jayaram G, Swain M, Chew MT, Yip CH, Moosa F

PMID: 16329537

Pure mucinous carcinoma (MC) of the breast is a relatively uncommon variant of breast carcinoma with distinctive histological and cytological features. In this study we have analysed fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytological material from 28 cases of MC of breast and correlated the cytomorphological features with histopathology. The 28 patients consisted of 27 females and one male patient. 14 patients were Chinese, 10 were Indian and four were Malay. Their ages ranged from 38 to 90 with a mean at 52 years. The left breast was involved in 17 and the right in 11 cases. The duration of the lump varied from two weeks to 10 years. The cytological picture was characterized by abundant extracellular mucin giving a "sea of mucin" or "whirlpools of mucin" effect, in which were seen floating clusters of tumour cells with relatively bland cytological features. Myxo-vascular fragments were seen in 12 cases. Dissociated tumour cells showed a plasmacytoid appearance with eccentric nuclei. In four cases, the mucin was scanty in amount and the cellularity was high while in two cases, the cellularity was very low. Psammoma bodies were seen in cytological smears in one case. Histological study of excision or mastectomy specimens confirmed all 28 cases to be pure MC. Knowledge of the distinctive cytomorphological appearance of MC would enable correct identification of these lesions as malignant and prompt treatment that could further enhance the survival of these prognostically good breast cancers.
Mucinous carcinoma (colloid carcinoma) of the lung diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology: a case report

Jayaram G, Yaccob R, Liam CK

Malays J Pathol, 2003 Jun;25(1):63-8.
PMID: 16196380

Mucinous carcinoma of the lung, also known as colloid carcinoma, is an uncommon tumour that is rarely encountered in fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytological practice. A 64-year-old Chinese male presenting with blood stained sputum and hoarseness of voice was discovered to have a 3 cm sized mass in the left lung. Neither bronchial washings nor transthoracic FNA yielded positive results at this stage. Six months later the patient returned to the hospital with a larger tumour and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Transbronchial lymph node FNA, reported as negative for malignancy showed normal, hyperplastic and mildly atypical bronchial epithelial cells as well as a few single cells and extracellular mucin. Transthoracic FNA of the lung lesion performed under computed tomographic guidance showed characteristic cytological features of this tumour, establishing the diagnosis.
Villoglandular adenocarcinoma of cervix--a tumour with bland cytological features: report of a case missed on cytology

Jayaram G, Razak A

Malays J Pathol, 2003 Dec;25(2):139-43.
PMID: 16196371

The diagnosis of villoglandular adenocarcinoma of cervix on cytological smears is often missed due to the relatively bland cytological features of this tumour. A 45-year-old female with an exophytic cervical growth had three cervical smears reported as unsatisfactory. A cervical biopsy followed by Wertheim's hysterectomy showed a villoglandular adenocarcinoma (VGA) of cervix. Vaginal recurrence of VGA was again missed on the first post-operative vault smear. The second and third vault smears showed characteristic features of VGA that enabled correct identification. Review of some of the smears previously reported as unsatisfactory showed architectural features of VGA in the three dimensional (3-D) fragments that were previously considered to be benign.
Fine needle aspiration cytology of the thyroid--a review of experience in 1853 cases

Jayaram G, Razak A, Gan SK, Alhady SF

Malays J Pathol, 1999 Jun;21(1):17-27.
PMID: 10879275

1853 thyroid lesions subjected to cytological sampling (either by the fine needle aspiration or fine needle capillary sampling technique) from January 1992 to December 1997 at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, were reviewed. Nodular goitre was the most common thyroid lesion needled (67.35%). Among the neoplastic lesions, follicular neoplasms predominated (64%), followed by papillary carcinoma (29.4%). In 325 cases, partial or total thyroidectomy had been done, providing material for histological review and cyto-histological correlation. Cytological diagnosis was found to have high sensitivity and specificity rates of over 75%. Besides, most non-neoplastic thyroid lesions could be diagnosed on cytology. The scope of cytology in the diagnosis of lymphomas, anaplastic and metastatic tumours rendered diagnostic biopsies (or thyroidectomy) unnecessary in these cases. Being a cost-effective technique and having the capacity to provide exact morphological diagnosis in a large variety of thyroid lesions, cytology is obviously the method of choice in the assessment of thyroid nodules.
Papillary cystic type of acinic cell carcinoma of parotid: fine needle aspiration cytological features of a high grade variant with oncocytic metaplasia

Jayaram G, Othman MA, Kumar M, Krishnan G

Malays J Pathol, 2002 Dec;24(2):107-12.
PMID: 12887170

A 60-year-old female developed a right parotid swelling six months after surgery for intra-oral squamous cell carcinoma. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytological smears showed dissociated large and small pleomorphic tumour cells with abundant mitoses and oncocytic features. A cytological diagnosis of parotid acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) was made. Histological study of the subtotal parotidectomy specimen showed a papillary cystic variety of acinic cell carcinoma (ACC-PCV). FNA cytological features in this case of ACC-PCV differs from the two previously reported cases in that it showed prominent oncocytic and high grade features and absence of papillary pattern in the cytological smears. ACC-PCV is an uncommon tumour and knowledge of its varied FNA cytological features is important for the diagnosis of this neoplasm.
Malignant teratoma of the thyroid with predominantly neuroepithelial differentiation. Fine needle aspiration cytologic, histologic and immunocytochemical features of a case

Jayaram G, Cheah PL, Yip CH

Acta Cytol., 2000 May-Jun;44(3):375-9.
PMID: 10833994

BACKGROUND: Teratoma of the thyroid in adults is extremely rare, and most are malignant. Only nine cases have been adequately documented in the English-language literature, and there are no reports detailing the fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytologic characteristics.

CASE: A 32-year-old female presented with a left-sided nodular thyroid mass with left cervical lymphadenopathy. FNA cytology of the thyroid and lymph nodes was done. The cytologic and immunocytochemical features were that of a small round cell tumor with neuroepithelial (NE) differentiation, metastasizing to the cervical nodes. Microscopic study of the thyroidectomy specimen showed a tumor showing an NE pattern with occasional islands of squamous and cuboidal epithelium, leading to a diagnosis of malignant teratoma.

CONCLUSION: Knowledge of FNA cytologic features of rare but highly malignant lesions like thyroid teratomas allow early recognition so that suitable and possibly aggressive treatment protocols can be adopted in the hope of prolonging survival.
Fine needle aspiration cytology of lymph nodes in HIV-infected individuals

Jayaram G, Chew MT

Acta Cytol., 2000 Nov-Dec;44(6):960-6.
PMID: 11127753

OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in lymphadenopathy in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals (HIVII).

STUDY DESIGN: Thirty-nine HIVII presenting with lymphadenopathy at University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, were subjected to FNAC. Cytologic smears were routinely stained with May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain. Special stains and immunostains were used when necessary.

RESULTS: In nine cases, the cytologic appearance was compatible with HIV type A and in one case with HIV type C lymphadenopathy. In 21 cases, acid-fast bacilli (AFB) were demonstrated in the cytologic smears, enabling a diagnosis of mycobacterial lymphadenitis. In one of these cases there was a concomitant infection with Penicillium marneffei that was overlooked on initial cytologic examination. The cause of granulomatous lymphadenitis could not be ascertained in one case, where neither AFB nor any other organisms were demonstrable. Two cases of histoplasma and one of cryptococcal lymphadenitis were diagnosed, as was one high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that could be immunophenotyped on cytologic material. In three cases the aspirates were inadequate for a cytologic diagnosis.

CONCLUSION: Lymph node FNAC is a valuable investigative modality in HIVII. Most opportunistic infections (bacterial and fungal) can be correctly identified, and high grade lymphoma can be diagnosed and phenotyped.
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid: a case report

Jayaram G, Wong KT, Jalaludin MA

Malays J Pathol, 1998 Jun;20(1):45-8.
PMID: 10879264

Primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of thyroid is an uncommon tumour and reports on its' cytology are consequently scanty. A 46-year-old male presented with a thyroid nodule of nine months duration. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of the nodule showed features of a malignant tumor that was different from the usual types of thyroid carcinoma. Monolayers and syncytial clusters of round and spindle tumour cells with large vesicular nuclei and single macronucleoli were present. A diagnosis of carcinoma was given with the comment that this was unlike any of the usual types of thyroid cancer and that a metastatic malignancy should be ruled out. The cytological picture of MEC may not always be distinctive enough for accurate tumour typing. Nevertheless the cytological features are usually sufficiently different to rule out all of the usual types of thyroid carcinoma. This distinction may be important from the point of view of differing prognosis in MEC of thyroid (as compared to differentiated thyroid cancers) and the need to exclude a metastatic carcinoma, especially from a primary in one of the salivary glands.
Cytologic appearances in invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. A study of 21 cases

Jayaram G, Swain M, Chew MT, Yip CH

Acta Cytol., 2000 Mar-Apr;44(2):169-74.
PMID: 10740602

OBJECTIVE: To examine the fine needle aspiration cytologic features of invasive lobular carcinoma of breast and to discuss problems that may occur in cytodiagnosis.

STUDY DESIGN: Fine needle aspiration cytologic smears from 21 cases of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) of breast were subjected to detailed cytomorphologic analysis. Features studied included pattern of cells, size of cells, nuclear placement, pleomorphism, presence of intracytoplasmic lumina (ICL) and signet ring cells.

RESULTS: Cellularity was generally moderate or high, and the pattern was predominantly or partly dissociated in 86% of cases. Rosettelike pattern was discerned in alveolar-type ILC. Cell size was usually small or intermediate, with nuclei placed eccentrically in most cases. ICLs with or without signet ring cells were present in 12 cases (57%).

CONCLUSION: A cytologic picture consisting of predominantly dissociated small or intermediate-sized tumor cells with eccentric nuclei, with some of the cells showing ICLs, is highly suggestive of ILC. Indian file pattern, another characteristic feature of ILC, is, however, focal and inconsistent. Variant patterns of ILC may show other cytologic features, such as rosettelike pattern (alveolar variant of ILC) or large cell pattern (pleomorphic variant of ILC) and may consequently be difficult to categorize on cytologic smears.
Follicular adenoma with squamous metaplasia and cystic change: report of a case with fine needle aspiration cytological and histological features

Jayaram G, Jayalakshmi P

Malays J Pathol, 1999 Dec;21(2):101-4.
PMID: 11068414

Squamous metaplasia (SM) of thyroid follicular epithelium is known to occur in a variety of non-neoplastic lesions as well in thyroid neoplasms, notably papillary carcinoma (PC). In follicular thyroid tumors, on the other hand, SM is very rare. This case describes cytological and pathological findings in a follicular adenoma (FA) that presented as a cystic lesion with extensive SM. The fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology sample in this case yielded only necrotic material from the cystic area and squamous cells, which being mostly of immature type, were not recognised as squamous in the cytological smears. The needle missed the solid (neoplastic) component of the lesion and on the whole the cytological picture was considered to be equivocal. FA can now be added to the spectrum of thyroid lesions that can show SM. Awareness of this will enable cytopathologists to consider non-papillary lesions in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules that yield squamous cells.
