Background:FNAC is an inexpensive and highly accurate means of diagnosing both benign and malignant breast lesions. The procedure provides a rapid and non-morbid diagnosis before the operation which enables the patient and the surgeon to discuss and plan therapeutic alternatives in a rational atmosphere.Objectives: To evaluate role of fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of breast lesions and to compare the cytological findings with the histopathology wherever possible. In addition the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of FNAC in breast lesions are carried out.
Material and Methods: The present study was carried out on 200 patients who presented with palpable lump in the breast in the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Patiala over a period of 2 years. Cytological Diagnosis was correlated with histological findings wherever possible.
Results: Cytologically, the lesions were categorized into 4 major categories, benign 143 (71.5%), malignant 37 (18.5%), suspicious or atypical 10 (5%) and unsatisfactory 10 (5%). Out of these 200 cases, 85 cases (42.5%) were available for histopathological examination. The most common benign lesion in this study was fibroadenoma 23/52 (44.2%) and the most common malignant lesion was infiltrating ductal carcinoma (28/33) Diagnostic accuracy of FNAC for benign lesion was 94.2% while for malignant lesion, it was 96.7%. The sensitivity, specificity and overall diagnostic accuracy of FNAC came out to be 93.7%, 98.1% and 96.4% respectively.
Conclusion: FNAC is a simple and reliable method for diagnosis of both benign and malignant lesions quite accurately thus reducing unnecessary surgeries. The present study proved that the procedure has high sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy. Though it cannot categorize the lesion in some cases but it can rule out malignancy in most of the cases. Considering its low cost and quick results, it can be a potential tool for screening of breast cancers.

Ovarian germ cell tumours comprise approximately 15% to 20% of all ovarian neoplasms. In pregnant females, its incidence is very low. They arise from primordial germ cells derived from the embryonal gonad. Malignant germ cell tumours comprise less than 5% of all ovarian neoplasms. Most malignant ovarian neoplasms in pregnant women are at early stages and are associated with good prognosis both for the mother and for the neonate. Histologic subtypes and prognosis do not differ from tumors not associated with pregnancy. Careful initial surgery with adequate staging biopsies followed by combination chemotherapy can greatly improve the prognosis of these patients. We present a case of malignant mixed germ cell tumor in a pregnant female who presented with abdominal mass after delivering a normal child. Histological and biochemical tumour markers confirmed it to be malignant mixed germ cell tumor.Keywords

PDF Views:1
Materials and Methods: During the study, 603 fecal samples (391 of sheep and 212 of goats) were examined qualitatively by floatation and sedimentation techniques, and quantitatively by McMaster technique.
Results: Out of the 603 fecal (391 sheep and 212 goats) samples examined, 501 were found positive for endoparasitic infection with an overall prevalence of 83.08%, consisting of 85.16% and 79.24% in sheep and goats, respectively. Egg per gram in sheep was apparently more 1441.88±77.72 than goats 1168.57±78.31. The associated risk factors with the prevalence of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) parasites showed that females (85.97%) were significantly more susceptible than males (69.23%). Age wise the adults (>6 months) were significantly more prone to parasitic infection as compared to young ones (<6 months). Seasonal variation was recorded throughout the year and was significantly highest during monsoon (90.10%), followed by winter (83.84%) and summer (78.35%).
Conclusion: The study revealed an overall prevalence of 83.08% of GIT parasitic infections in small ruminants constituting 85.16% in sheep and 79.24% in goats in the western zone of Punjab. The most relevant risk factors for the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitism in ruminants were sex, age, and season.
