papillary cystic acinic cell carcinoma with many Psammoma bodies so called Psammoma Body rich papillary cystic acinic cell carcinoma report of a case with fine needle aspiration findings
Acta Cytologica, 2009Co-Authors: Shahrzad Negahban, Yahya Daneshbod, Bijan Khademi, Iran SeifAbstract:Background Psammoma bodies are infrequent in salivary gland aspirates. We present a case of papillary cystic acinic cell carcinoma with many Psammoma bodies and discuss the diagnostic pitfalls with other salivary gland tumors. Case A 24-year-old woman presented with a 5-month history of a gradually enlarging, painless lump in the left side of the face. Physical examination demonstrated a 2 x 2-cm, nontender, rubbery mass inferior to the auricle in the left parotid area. Sonography showed a 2-cm, cystic mass in the left parotid. Fine needle aspiration was performed and showed mainly papillary clusters and isolated cells with vacuolated cytoplasm and a round nucleus with an inconspicuous nucleolus resembling foamy histiocytes and many Psammoma bodies, some of which were surrounded by cells resembling cannonballs. A preliminary diagnosis of papillary cystic salivary gland neoplasm was made and superficial parotidectomy performed. A diagnosis ofpapillary cystic acinic cell carcinoma with many Psammoma bodies was made. Conclusion Aspiration cytology of papillary cystic acinic cell carcinoma with many Psammoma bodies can be confused with more common tumors, such as cystic mixed tumor and adenoid cystic carcinoma with cannonballs, low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma or cystic papillary carcinoma of the thyroid.

Case Report Bilateral Serous Psammocarcinoma of Ovary: Rare Variant Low Grade Serous Carcinoma
2016Co-Authors: Saubhagya Kumar Jena, A Mishra, Ana Mohapatra, Sweta SinghAbstract:License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Serous psammocarcinoma is a rare variant of serous carcinoma arising from either ovary or peritoneum, characterized by massive Psammoma Body formation, low grade cytologic features, and invasiveness. Its clinical behavior is similar to serous borderline tumors with relatively favorable prognosis. We report herein a case of a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with abdominal distension. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) revealed calcified pelvic masses with ascites. Elevated serum CA-125 (970U/mL) suggested malignant ovarian neoplasm. Patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with primary debulking surgery. Histopathology showed bilateral serous psammocarcinoma of ovary with invasive implants on omentum. Adjuvant chemotherapy was advised in view of advanced stage disease, although its benefits are poorly defined due to rarity of the tumor. However, patient opted out of it and is now on follow-up. 1
