17. Breast carcinoma
Diffuse infiltration involves airways
Better differentiated tumors may be
recognized by its cohesive clusters of small
glandular cells, with relatively uniform nuclei
and a smooth border to the cell group
18.
19. Nuclei may be moulded but have a more
regular chromatin pattern and better defined
nuclear membranes than oat cell carcinoma
cells
Presence of intracytoplasmic mucin vacuoles
favours a breast origin
21. Colorectal carcinoma
Palisaded columnar cells with oval nuclei and
apical mucin secretion
Cytoplasmic border of the cell group tends to
be linear
Cavitatory necrosis
22.
23. Renal Cell Carcinoma
Predeliction for infiltrating mucosal surfaces.
Pleomorphic malignant cells with round
eccentric nuclei, prominent nucleoli and
abundant finely vacuolated cytoplasm
Eosinophilic basement membrane material
Fibrovascular papillary cores
24.
25. Melanoma
Free cell pattern
Pleomorphic nuclei with prominent nucleoli,
presence of duble nuclei and spindle cell
forms
Melanin may or may not be seen
Irregular blue-green on MGG
And Brown on PAP
26.
27.
28.
29. Lymphoma
NHL, most likely high grade follicular
lymphoma
N:C ratio high, narrow blue rim of cytoplasm
with prominent nucleoli
HL, lobulated nuclei with macronucleoli,
associated with eosinophils, histiocytes and
lymphocytes
38. Lung Metastasis
Some organs such as the lungs and the
lymph nodes are more commonly affected by
metastases than by primary neoplasia and so
knowledge of advances is important.
39. Cytology of metastatic neoplasia
in the lung
Brushings or sputum
Wider range is accessible with FNAC
Breast and colorectal carcinomas
Prostatic, renal, bladder and head and neck
carcinoma
As well as melanoma, lymphoma, testicular
tumours and sarcomas
40. The diagnosis of metastasis can usually be
established by a combination of the
cytological appearance, clinical history and
pattern of metastasis
IHC may be helpful, but requires cell blocks.
44. Lymphangitic
Lung and breast carcinoma, lymphoma
Intravascular
GIT, liver, Choriocarcinoma
Lepidic
Well differentiated AdenoCa of prostate and
pancreas
46. Solitary
Renal and colorectal carcinoma, melanoma,
sarcoma
Endobronchial
Renal and colorectal carcinoma, sarcoma
47. Cytological patterns suggestive
metastasis
High index of suspicion when malignant cells
do not conform to the usual spectrum of
appearances in lung cancer.
Final diagnosis always requires
clinicopathological correlation and ancillary
tests.
48. Diagnosis of 1o and 2o
lymphomatous effusions
Majority are secondary
Can occur in NHL T/B cell type
HL
Late manifestation of systemic lymphomas
Pleural fluid in the setting of a mediastinal or
pulmonary mass
49. Primary Lymphomatous Effusions
Lymphomas presenting as primary pleural
effusions are rare.
Most are
DLBCL
Follicular Lymphoma
Small lymphocytic lymphoma
Majority are B cell Phenotype
Pleural thickening with mediastinal
lymphadenopathy
50. Body cavity based NHL that occurs
exclusively in HIV positive patients
Pleural / pericardial / peritoneal in the
absence of solid tumor masses.
Throughout remain confined to the body
cavity.
51. Morphologically,
Large cell
Immunoblastic
Anaplastic
Abundant amphophilic or basophilic
cytoplasm, bizarre cells with irregular nuclei
and RS like cells
52. EBV and HHV-8 associated
Diagnosis based on IHC
CD30, CD38, EMA positive
Associated with castleman’s syndrome
Extremely poor prognosis
2-4 months survival
53. PEL can be distinguished from secondary
body cavity lymphomas by:
1. Almost exclusive involvement of body cavity
2. Pleomorphic morphology
3. IHC
4. HHV-8
54. Pyothorax-associated Lymphoma
Rare lymphomas, occur in setting of long-
standing inflammation of the pleura
Underlying cause of chronic inflammation
such as TB, IL-6 associated
20-50 years after initial pleural injury
Exclusively in the pleura
Not associated with Immunosuppression
59. Conclusion
Identification of metastatic diseases in crucial
to upstage the tumor
Preliminary diagnosis should follow thorough
search of primary site
IHC is mandatory for confirmation and typing
Detailed history should be available
