    A Secret Worth Telling: The Salivary Secret (Ory) Affair
    (Wiley, 2026-04-26) Singh, Monika; Yadav, Monika; Bist, S. S.; Chandra, Smita
    Secretory carcinoma (SC) of the salivary gland is a low- grade, slowly growing tumour. However, cytological diagnosis of SC is often challenging due to its morphological mimics. Characteristic cytoplasmic vacuolation seen in SC can be displayed in many tumours. However, careful evaluation of architecture, cytological content and background can assist in a definite diagnosis on FNAC. Application of immunocytochemistry on cell blocks can further aid in diagnosis

    A rare case report of T cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma masquerading as tubercular effusion
    (IP Innovative Publication Pvt. Ltd., 2026-05-19) Pundir, Sammi; Jethani, Varuna; Khanduri, Sushant; Kala, Mansi; Gupta, Dhruv
    Pleural fluid characterized by exudative, high adenosine deaminase (ADA) and lymphocytic predominant in a country with high prevalance of tuberculosis favours tuberculosis but sometimes it can be challenging. Here we present a case report of young male who presented to us with unilateral pleural effusion and pericardial effusion with mediastinal and cervical lymphadenopathy, as exudative high ADA, being started on anti– tubercular medications (ATT) and steroids who responded well initially but worsening of pleural and pericardial effusion made us re evaluate on our diagnosis and finally patient was diagnosed as T cell Lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL).

    Diagnostic Utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in a Case of Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Masquerading as Tuberculosis
    (PUBMED, 2025) Smita Chandra; Akanksha Aggarwal; Varuna Jethani
    Hydatid cyst may mimic other diseases including carcinoma and tuberculosis which may raise diagnostic dilemma that may be more enhanced in areas where tuberculosis is endemic. This may result in delayed diagnosis of hydatid cyst leading to its complications. The present case is therefore being reported as it was clinically and radiologically diagnosed as tuberculosis but on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) turned out to be a case of hydatid cyst. In addition, vigilant cytological examination revealed only protoscolices and hooklets instead of laminated cyst membrane which is more commonly and easily observed. FNAC serves as a valuable adjunctive tool in the diagnosis of hydatid cysts providing rapid and accurate diagnosis that can guide clinical management and improve patient outcome.
