BACKGROUND Scalp lesions are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Fine‐needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can characterize most of these lesions; however, there is little published work on cytology of scalp lesions. METHODS Records of all the patients subjected to FNAC from January 2011 to August 2016 were retrieved from the archives of the Cytopathology section of our Institute. Out of the 71 852 cases reviewed, 896 patients, who presented with palpable scalp lesions, were included in the study. Aspirates were obtained with a 23‐gauge needle attached to a 10 mL disposable plastic syringe. May–Grünwald–Giemsa stained and Pap stained slides were prepared. Special stains and immunocytochemical analysis were done when necessary. RESULTS Out of the 896 cases of aspirates from scalp lesions, 155 (17.2%) aspirates were found to be inadequate for diagnosis. One hundred and fifty‐seven (21%) out of 741 adequate aspirates showed features of inflammatory or reactive pathology comprising of abscesses (57), cystic lesions (24), tubercular lesions (16), and reactive lymphadenopathy (66). Four hundred and fifteen (56%) aspirates revealed a tumor‐like etiology comprising of epidermal cyst (395), sebaceous cyst (4), dermoid cyst (1), calcinosis (7), vascular malformation (7), hematoma (5), and juvenile xanthogranulomatous lesion (1). Tumorous lesions formed 22.3% of the aspirates. Of these, 7 cases (4.2%) were of metastases to the scalp. CONCLUSION In a developing country, FNAC is a useful and cost‐effective investigation for the diagnosis of a wide spectrum of scalp lesions. It allows rapid diagnosis and permits timely intervention thereby preventing complications due to delay in diagnosis.

During a period of 10 years, 51 patients were found to have metastatic cancer in the breast. There were 44 women and seven men. Eighteen patients had carcinoma, 16 had malignant lymphoma, 14 had malignant melanoma, and three had myosarcomas. I t is interesting that 16 of the 51 patients had no prior history of malignant disease-the mammary lesion presenting as the first manifestation of an occult extramammary primary. Metastatic cancer should be suspected when a multinodular neoplasm is found in the superficial tissues of the breast. Forty-one patients had a rapidly fulminating course and died of disease. Ten patients are alive, seven with and three without apparent evidence of disease. It is concluded that earlier recognition of these tumors may lead to more rational therapy and avoidance of unnecessary radical surgery. LTHOUGH PRIMARY MALIGNANT TUMORS OFA the breast are common, tumors metastatic to the breast are rare.2,6.11 The mammary manifestation of extramammary primary neoplasms-known or unknown-should be clinically and histologically distinguished from primary mammary neoplasms.6~7.DJ0The few reported cases in the literature indicate not only the rarity of metastatic mammary tumors but show the limited experience with this condition in any given institution.

Breast metastases in children with rhabdomyosarcoma

Of 108 consecutively diagnosed patients with rhabdomyosarcoma, seven subsequently developed clinically evident metastatic tumors of the breast. These patients were unusual in that all had primary tumors located on an extremity or the buttock, and six of the seven tumors had alveolar histology. Sex distribution and age of the patients indicated that the physiologic state of the breast was an important determining factor in the development of such metastases.
