The results of the diagnostic accuracy of breast fine needle aspiration specimens taken by the pathologist in a joint surgical clinic are compared with those taken by a surgeon. In the joint clinic the complete sensitivity rose by 15% and the number of missed malignancies fell by half.
Lipomata are rare tumours of the parotid gland. The plemorphic lipoma represents an unusual histological variant of the benign lipoma. We report a case of a pleomorphic lipoma arising in the parotid gland. Only one case of a similar nature has previously been recorded. This tumour is benign, was fully excised and recurrence is not expected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
