Article: Cytological diagnostic clues in fine needle aspiration of breast myofibroblastoma: A case report.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a rare, benign mesenchymal tumor derived from the stroma and tends to occur mainly in middle-aged to elderly men. There are a few cases reported in the literature describing its cytological features. We report the cytological and histological findings of a breast myofibroblastoma in a 68-year-old man. He presented with a palpable nodule of 2-months duration in his left breast. The cytological smears obtained by fine needle aspiration showed less cohesive cellularity in a fascicular arrangement consisting of spindle cells with elongated cytoplasm, occasional nuclear grooves, and intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions associated to fragments of stromal collagen. The cytological diagnosis was a mesenchymal proliferation suggesting the possibility of myofibroblastoma which was confirmed on histopathological examination. The breast myofibroblastoma has distinctive cytological features that in conjunction with the clinical and radiological data allow a specific diagnosis. Diagn.

Article: [Perineural spread by fungal cells. Case report and literature review].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The perineural spread by fungal cells during the progression of the infection could be an important prognostic factor, especially in mycoses localized in the rhino-orbito-cerebral and pulmonary areas. We present a clinical case of a 73-year-old male, with diabetes and acute myelomonocytic leukaemia that began with tumefaction on the left side of his face, spreading to the sinus with invasion of the soft tissues and fistulae in the oral cavity. Clinical examination showed cerebral involvement. The histopathological sections and the histochemical techniques showed perineural involvement by fungal cells. Although the patient was diagnosed and treated in a short period of time, he died due to the infection. We would like to alert that perineural spread could be a retrograde way of mycoses dissemination, particularly in infections located in areas rich in neural cells.Revista Iberoamericana de Micología 03/2010; 27(2):94-7. · 1.16 Impact Factor -
Article: Rectal inflammatory polyp in a child: an unusual case of polyparasitism.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In recent years, parasitic diseases have increased especially in non-tropical or subtropical countries. We present a case of an 11-year-old boy from Guinea with a rectal polyp parasitized by Schistosoma haematobium and Trichuris trichiura. This parasitic association had never been reported in our country or in Europe.Journal of Tropical Pediatrics 11/2009; 56(4):270-1. · 1.39 Impact Factor -
