Any takers?

A child with a 1 cm swelling, almost impalpable, in right arm. FNAC yields this.I am clueless. Spindle cells, epithelial cells, giant cells, cohesive clusters. What?

Uterus

Voila, never thought would see this; a uterine lymphoma!

UPDATE : AKB says this is endometrial stromal sarcoma. However, here's a case of stromal sarcoma I received. It looks distinctly different

Differentiating towards gestational endometrium, this is clear cell carcinoma. Look at the hobnailing.

An endometrium showing glandular formations merging into neoplastic stroma, a carcinosarcoma (MMMT)

A few crazy cells

Some findings from the first week of cytology rotation

An NHL on FNAC

A pseudo giant cell
Giant cells in pap smear

Some squamous metaplastic cells

A neoplastic ball from a breast lump
Intranuclear inclusions
More of the same

Carcinoma gall bladder, note the columnar epithelium

Overall, cytology does not disappoint you.

First post as a PGT

Hello all. Back after some time. Some busy time. Got into a MD course in pathology (yeah you are right, that blood, urine and stool department - at least most people think so). So expect my forthcoming blogs to get more sombre, dark and littered with pictures of broken hearts, empty stomachs, fatty livers and chronic kidneys (if at all I have time to blog).
