Abstract

Undifferentiated carcinoma of the head and neck is frequently observed in nasopharynx, however it may also occur in oropharynx, salivary gland and sinonasal. Overlapping lesions in those regionscreate difficulty in determining the origin of the tumor. Thus, it causes diagnostic pitfall not only for pathologists, but also for clinicians. A 40 yearold man, presented with nasal obstruction, epistaxis, diplopia, and headache for a yearand showed nasal cavitysinistra and nasopharynx masses on CT-scan. Lymph node enlargement was not detected. First biopsywas performed and histopathologically diagnosed as nasopharyngeal undifferentiated carcinoma(NPC), extended into nasal cavity. Chemo-radiation protocol for NPC was conducted, and showing uncomplete response. Second biopsy was done, and reviewed with the first biopsy result. Thetumourwas arranged insolid, syncytial and trabecular pattern, with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and lack of lymphoplasmacytic infiltrat. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of p16, EBNA1 and LMP1 were negative. PCR analysis of HPV-18 was positive, while EBV detection showed negative result. General association of EBV with NPC suggests that the presence of latent EBV infection can serve as a positive marker for NPC. Therefore, in this case, the EBV negativity and strong HPV association led to diagnosis of SNUC. The distinction of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) or from NPC was important for appropriate management and therapy.

Abstract

Breast lump is a very common complaint among women, especially during the reproductive year. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a less invasive procedure. It is usually performed as an initial diagnosis prior to the operative procedure. The accuracy of the FNAB in Indonesia needs to be elaborated. The study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of FNAB in diagnosing breast neoplasm. This is a retrospective study with cross sectional design, involving 145 patients with breast lump who underwent FNAB and histopathology examination in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, from 2012 to 2014. Data analysis showed that female to male ratio was 23. 2:1 commonly occurred at 41-50 years old. Forty-one cases (28.28%) diagnosed as a benign lesion with fibrocystic changes as the most frequentcase (11.19%). The malignant case was 104 cases (71.72%) with ductal carcinoma as the highest case (51.49%). FNAB achieved a sensitivity of 85.58%, a specificity of 100% and a total accuracy of 89.66% in determining the benign or malignant breast lump. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of FNAB in diagnosing ductal carcinoma were 83.58%, 85.51% and 81.54%, respectively. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of FNAB to diagnose fibrocystic changes lesion were 85.82%, 26.67% and 93.28%, respectively. FNAB can be used as an alternative diagnostic tool to diagnose breast neoplasm. It provides rapid, cheaper, effective, valuable, and less invasive procedure in diagnosis of breast lump.

Abstract

Lymphadenopathy is a non-specific enlargement of lymph nodes which may be caused by infection, cancer, or autoimmune disease. To date, only a few studies reported the diagnostic value of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in lymphadenopathy. This study was performed to evaluate diagnostic reliability of FNAB for benign and malignant lymphadenopathy. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. The obtained data were statistically analyzed for its sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Out of 126 collected FNAB cases with histopathological confirmed results in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, 85 (67.4%) were malignant lymphadenopathy, consisting of 42 metastatic tumor cases, 38 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases, and 4 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cases.The overall diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of FNAB in lymphadenopathy was 85.88, 70.73, and 80.95%, respectively. In diagnosing metastatic tumors, FNAB had sensitivity of 83.33%; specificity of 89.28%; and accuracy of 87.3%. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of FNAB in diagnosing NHL was 60.52, 94.31, and 84.12%, respectively. FNAB had a sensitivity of 25%, specificity of 95,90%, and accuracy of 93.65% to diagnose HL. Meanwhile, the accuracy of FNAB in diagnosing malignancies in generalized lymphadenopathy, head-neck lymphadenopathy, and inguinal lymphadenopathy was 90.90; 81.39 and 44.44%, respectively. In conclusion,FNAB has moderate diagnostic value in diagnosing overall malignant lymphadenopathy, including metastatic tumors. FNAB also has some limitations in diagnosing NHL and HL, with sensitivity less than 70% for both diseases. However, it has high accuracy to diagnose generalized lymphadenopathy.

Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is associated with malignancy progression, metastasis, and poor prognosis in many malignancies, including osteosarcoma. However, studies concerning correlations between VEGF expression and histopathological prognostic factors ofosteosarcoma are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the correlations between VEGF expression and histopathological findings in osteosarcoma’spatients.This was a cross-sectional study using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples of 32 osteosarcoma’s patients from Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta. Histopathological findings of specimens were re-evaluated by two independent observers, recorded for the subtypes, invasiveness, grading, mitotic counts, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Expression of VEGF was determined based on immunostaining and evaluated using immunoreactivity score (IRS).Chi-square and Spearman correlation test were used to analyze the association between variables. Range of VEGF expression score was 0 to 11, with mean 5.09. Significant negative correlation between the VEGF expression and TIL was observed (p=0.046). However, there was no significant correlations between the VEGF expression and osteosarcomas subtypes, invasion, grading or mitotic counts (p> 0.05). In conclusion, the VEGF expression is associated with TIL. Further study is needed to evaluate the roles of VEGF and lymphocytes in osteosarcoma development dan progression in order to better understand of the role of VEGF in immunotherapy of osteosarcoma.

Abstract

Steroid cell tumor is a rarest ovarian neoplasm, classified as a pure stromal tumor and mostly is unilateral. Even though this tumor can exhibit malignant behavior but the morphology of cells showed benign characteristics which can become a diagnosis pitfall especially in the frozen section. Moreover patient without any hormonal imbalance or virilizing signs could make the diagnosis process more difficult. Here we reported a case bilateral steroid cell tumor of the ovary in a 42 y.o. unmarried woman without any virilization or hirsutism symptoms. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a right ovarian solid tumor accompanied by ascites and right pleural effusion. There was significantly increased of Ca 125 level (1138 U/mL) and normal level of testosterone (0.10 ng/mL). Frozen section was done from the right ovarium mass and ascites fluid, the result was benign. From the total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy tissues,  histological picture showed diffuse and nests tumor separated by thin fibrous connective tissue with small round centered nuclei, mild atypia, and abundant pale cytoplasm. Large area of necrosis was found especially in the right ovarian tumor, tumor implant to the right fallopian tube and in the uterine serous layer. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain was negative in more than half tumor cells population. Immunostaining for Melan-A and Calretinin were focally positive, with Ki-67 labeling index ± 5%, and negative for cytokeratin 7 (CK7), cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and smooth muscle actin (SMA). Based on the tumor size, necrosis area, tumor implantation, and immunohistochemistry profiles, we conclude that were malignant steroid cell tumor. Currently, the patient is undergoing postoperative recovery and planned for platinum-based chemotherapy. A careful correlation between clinical and radiological findings, as well as histopathological results, is always essential, as is amply demonstrated by this particular case.
