A Rare Case Presentation on Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour of the Stomach | Chapter 4 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 2

 IMT (Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour) is a rather uncommon disease. The IMT was first discovered in the lungs. IMT can affect any part of the body, although the lungs, liver, and gastrointestinal tract are the most prevalent. It most commonly affects children and young adults, but it can affect anyone at any age. Clinically, IMTs are painless indurated masses/swelling that last for a short time, with signs and symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to nonspecific respiratory symptoms, fever, or discomfort, depending on the location of the tumour. IMTs have an underlying cause that is unknown. IMTs are tumours with an intermediate biological potential, meaning they can recur locally and have a small chance of spreading to other parts of the body. IMT is always debatable as to whether it is an inflammatory tumour or a tumour, and if it is benign or malignant, as well as the adjuvant treatment. Despite the pathologic findings and their apparent prognostic implications, the majority of those affected have had positive clinical outcomes, regardless of the originating site. A case of primary stomach IMT in an adult male is given here, along with a literature evaluation.

Determination of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology: An Important Tool for Diagnosis of Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis | Chapter 1 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 10

 The goal of this study is to evaluate early tuberculosis diagnosis using a simple and uncomplicated technique, as well as to investigate tuberculosis occurrence at various extrapulmonary sites. Tuberculosis is the most frequent and deadly infectious disease in our country. Tuberculosis can affect every organ system in the body, and while pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common form, extrapulmonary tuberculosis is nonetheless a deadly condition. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis can be diagnosed via Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. This is a 12-year study of 17,640 cytological smears received in a tertiary care center's cytology lab between January 2000 and March 2012. Of the 17,640 smears, 1038 (5.88%) were found to have tubercular lesions. Our findings show that tuberculosis is more common in women (721 cases, or 69.46 percent) than in men (317 cases, or 30.53 percent), with a male to female ratio of 1:2.27. The lymph node was the most prevalent site in both sexes, accounting for 975 (93.93%) of the 1038 cases. We also discovered that tuberculosis is most common in people aged 14 to 45. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is a prominent diagnostic technique that is gaining popularity due to its ease of use, quick findings, and low risk of complications.
