Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in India.The worldwide accepted protocol for diagnosis of breast lumps is the “Triple Assessment” a combined approach by the triad of clinical examination, mammography and FNAC. FNAC has a good sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in early diagnosis and management of breast lumps. The present study was carried out on 432 patients presenting with palpable breast lumps in the Cytopathology section over a period of one year from January 2019 to December 2019 with the aim of categorizing the breast lesions among females and males, studying age incidence & laterality. Fibroadenoma (44.9%), ductal carcinoma (11.8%), acute mastitis (6.4%) were the most common benign, malignant and inflammatory lesions respectively in the present study. FNAC for palpable breast lumps has proved to be an asset in the present study

The present study was carried out on 65 patients presenting with palpable enlarged salivary mass or nodule in the Cytopathology section over a period of one year from January 2019 to December 2019 with the aim of categorizing the lesions among females and males, studying age incidence & site. Most common age group involved was 41-50 years and male showed predominance over females. Parotid gland was the commonest gland involved. Pleomorphic adenoma (38.4%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (6.1%), sialadenitis (4.6%) were the most common benign, malignant and inflammatory lesions respectively in the present study. FNAC for palpable salivary gland lesions is a diagnostic and therapeutic asset.

Aims: To study exact incidence of cutaneous TB with respect to age, sex, site, response to therapy and recurrent cases, at a tertiary care centre and to make dermato-path corelation. Methods: This was a cross sectional retrospective study at a tertiary care centre. Results: Out of 709 skin punch biopsies, 34 cases of Cutaneous TB were diagnosed in which, Lupus Vulgaris (18 cases 53%) was most common, followed by TBVC (6 cases 17.7%), Scrofuloderma (6 cases 17.7%), Oral TB (2 cases 5.8%) and Papulonecrotic TB (2 cases 5.8%). Limitations: This was a retrospective study hence the follow-up of patients could not be done. Conclusions: Histopathology is the gold standard to diagnose cutaneous tuberculous granulomatous dermatoses.

According to recent research, WHO recommends cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) to be used as initial diagnostic test in suspected cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Aim of the present study is to assess the role of CBNAAT in comparison with cytomorphological features upon fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and Ziehl-Neelson (ZN) stain in clinically suspected cases of EPTB.Methods: Present pilot study is descriptive cross-sectional study of 439 cases of clinically suspected EPTB over a period of 12 months (January 2019 to December 2019). After procedure of fine needle aspirates, smears were stained with routine H&E, papanicolaou stain and ZN stain. In the same setting, aspirate was also sent for CBNAAT. Results were obtained after detailed study.Results: Out of 439 cases, presumptive tuberculosis was diagnosed in 192 cases showing either epith...
