UNASSIGNED: It is a cross-sectional study conducted over a time span of 3 years (2017-2020). 33 cases of tumors with round cell morphology were evaluated by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).
UNASSIGNED: The application of cell block preparation supported by immunohistochemistry aided in the categorization of 23 cases with definite diagnosis and the rest were reported as MSRCTs.
UNASSIGNED: Among the categorized 23/33 cases, the most common diagnosis was Ewing\'s sarcoma (7/23) followed by 6 cases of lymphoma. There were 2 cases each of rhabdomyosarcoma and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and 1 case each of neuroblastoma, desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), myeloid sarcoma, neuroendocrine tumor of pancreas, plasmacytoma, and small cell carcinoma. Histopathology confirmation was available in 24/33 cases. Among the categorized tumors (23/33), biopsy correlation was available in 19 cases, of which concordant result was seen in 17 cases (89.47%), which were 6 cases of lymphoma, 5 cases of Ewing\'s sarcoma (EWS), 2 of rhabdomyosarcoma, and 1 each of neuroblastoma, small cell carcinoma, DSRCT, and LCH. Discordant result was seen in one case of rhabdomyosarcoma and a case of synovial sarcoma reported as extraskeletal EWS in cytology. Out of the uncategorized cases reported as MSRTCs, histopathology was available in 5 cases which were diagnosed as rhabdomyosarcoma (1 cases), lymphoma (1 case), amelanotic melanoma (1 case), and extraskeletal EWS (2 cases).
UNASSIGNED: Categorization of MSRCTs should be done to implement appropriate therapeutic protocol. FNAC provides a rapid diagnosis contributing immensely for the timely management of the patient. Detailed cytomorphological evaluation serves as a guide for further evaluation by ancillary techniques leading to definitive diagnosis.
■它是一项横断面研究,历时3年(2017-2020年)。采用细针穿刺细胞学(FNAC)对33例肿瘤进行圆形细胞形态评估。
■应用免疫组织化学支持的细胞块制备辅助分类23例明确诊断,其余为MSRCT。
■在23/33分类病例中,最常见的诊断是尤因肉瘤(7/23),其次是淋巴瘤6例。横纹肌肉瘤和朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增生症(LCH)各2例,神经母细胞瘤各1例,促纤维增生性小圆细胞瘤(DSRCT),骨髓肉瘤,胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤,浆细胞瘤,和小细胞癌。24/33例有组织病理学证实。在分类的肿瘤中(23/33),19例活检相关性可用,其中17例(89.47%)结果一致,其中6例淋巴瘤,尤因肉瘤(EWS)5例,2例横纹肌肉瘤,和1个神经母细胞瘤,小细胞癌,DSRCT,和LCH。在细胞学中,在1例横纹肌肉瘤和1例滑膜肉瘤中发现了不一致的结果。在报告为MSRTC的未分类病例中,5例诊断为横纹肌肉瘤(1例),淋巴瘤(1例),无色素性黑色素瘤(1例),和骨外EWS(2例)。
■应进行MSRCT分类以实施适当的治疗方案。FNAC提供了快速诊断,为患者的及时管理做出了巨大贡献。详细的细胞形态学评估可作为辅助技术进一步评估的指南,从而导致明确的诊断。
