Fibromatosis colli is a peculiar, benign fibrous growth of the sternocleidomastoid that usually appears during the first few weeks of life and is often associated with muscular torticollis. Fibromatosis colli (FC) is seen in children born after difficult, prolonged labor, assisted delivery, and breech deliveries. Clinically, FC has to be differentiated from congenital lesions, inflammatory lesions, and neoplastic conditions—both benign and malignant—that may occur at that site. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple technique that will help in excluding the above conditions and also in avoiding surgical procedures. Fibromatosis colli also resembles other forms of infantile fibromatosis, but its behavior, microscopic appearance, and its treatment distinguish it from other forms of infantile fibromatosis. In contrast to other forms of fibromatosis, a noninvasive, conservative management is usually the line of treatment for FC in most of the cases. FNAC is a noninvasive method of diagnosis of FC that is thus useful in its management. We report here a case of Fibromatosis colli diagnosed by FNAC.

The aim of this study was to analyse the findings by the Histopathological examination in lung tissue received in Autopsy specimens. METHODS This is a Prospective study conducted on 100 cases received during the period of 6 months from July to December 2013 in pathology department of Chengalpattu medical college in collaboration with Forensic medicine department.

Most carcinomas affecting para nasal sinuses are primary carcinomas, metastatic involvement being a rare presentation compared with other sites like nose, naso pharynx, and palate, alveolar ridge, ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid. Secondary deposits are common in maxilla. There have been only few isolated case reports of thyroid tumour (3%) metastatising to the para nasal sinuses. The most common thyroid malignancy is follicular carcinoma, (1) CT scan, radioactive iodine 131 scan and FNAC along with the clinical picture helps us in arriving at a diagnosis of metastasis to Para nasal sinuses from thyroid carcinoma.

Mature cystic teratoma is the most common germ cell tumor of ovary comprising 10-20% of all ovarian tumors (1). Mature cystic teratoma is generally a benign tumor, however cases of malignant transformation occurs in 1-2% of cases (2). Preoperative diagnosis of malignant transformation is difficult because of the lack of specific symptoms and signs to suggest malignancy.The various types of malignancies which can arise from mature cystic teratoma are adenocarcinoma, melanoma, carcinoid, soft tissue sarcomas,. The prognosis of this condition is extremely poor.
