Salivary Glands
These three glands are considered major salivary glands.
parotid, submandibular, and sublingual gland
A mixture of sizes and lymphoid types in a lymph node aspiration is most representative of this type of process.
Benign reactive lymphoid process
The three types of cartilage include:
Hyaline, fibrocartilage (fibroblasts), & elastic cartilage
This type of tumor is the most common soft tumor malignancy of childhood.
Rhabdomyosarcoma
The mediastinum is a compartment or space that sits between these two separate anatomical structures.
The right and left lungs
The submandibular gland produces mixed serous and mucus secretions, but predominately this type of secretion.
Serous
Caseating granulomas in the lymph node are typically caused by this type of infectious agent.
Mycobacterium
Bone neoplasms are considered this type of neoplasm.
mesenchymal
This type of tumor is the most common malignancy of uterine wall and more common in middle age and elderly women.
Leiomyosarcoma
The mediastinum is developed as a part of the this body cavity formation.
Pericardial cavity
Myoepthelial cells in the salivary glands are connective tissue responsible for this function.
Supporting and aiding in expelling secretions
When lymphoma is suspected, this type of intervention is better than core needle and FNA cytology because it provides architectural information.
Excisional biopsy
Chondromas, chondroblastomas, chondromyxoid fibroma, and osteoblastoma are all considered benign bone lesions in this patient age group (range).
0-30 years
Benign tumors of the cardiac muscle include these two types.
Myxomas and hamartomas
The mediastinum contains cells from this (or these) embryonic line(s).
Ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm
FNA was performed on a firm but rubbery mass in the left parotid gland of a 48-year-old male This clinical picture should raise suspicion for this diagnosis.
Pleomorphic Adenoma
Epstein-Barr virus is associated with these 4 types of lymphomas.
Epstein-Barr virus with Burkitt lymphoma, B-cell lymphoproliferation, certain T cell lymphomas, & Hodgkin lymphoma
Aspiration of this benign bone lesion shows abundant neutrophils and typical features of granulomas.
Osteomyelitis
Name at least three immunohistochemical stains that stain positive in rhabdomyosarcoma.
Vimentin, desmin, muscle specific actin, cytokeratin, GFAP, neuroendocrine, and B cell markers.
The four main tumors of the mediastinum include:
Thymoma, Teratoma-germ cell tumor, “Terrible” Lymphoma, Thyroid Disease
A slow-growing firm mass was aspirated in the parotid gland of a 52 year old female patient. The patient has reported pain in the area and presents with facial nerve palsy. Cytology demonstrates cohesive groups of basaloid cells arranged in small syncytial sheets with irregular borders, with scant, indistinct cytoplasm and bland, oval to angulated hyperchromatic nuclei with indistinct nucleoli. Based on this clinical and cytologic presentation, the most likely diagnosis is _________.
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
An elderly patient presents to his clinician with stroke, visual disturbance, and bleeding gums. A bone marrow aspiration is collected and submitted for special studies, showing cells positively expressing IgM. The most likely diagnosis is:
Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma/Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
Polygonal cells with abundant, granular cytoplasm and irregular cytoplasmic borders are present in a background of numerous eosinophils, lymphocytes, giant cells. and macrophages. A cytologic pattern like this that stains positive for S200 and CD1a is most diagnostic of what condition?
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
Bland elongated spindly cells with single spindly cells, bland nuclei with nuclear grooves and inconspicuous nucleoli and moderate cytoplasm are present in a very bloody background of a subcutaneous FNA. These cytologic features are most consistent with what diagnosis?
Hemangioma
This is the most common malignant germ cell tumor of the mediastinum.
