Résumé

Endoscopic brush cytology is a valuable technique for the evaluation of biliary strictures. The sensitivity of this technique varies from 30% to 83%, however, it can have specificity of 100%. We retrospectively evaluated the usefulness of wire-guided biliary brush cytology in biliary strictures in our hospital over a 3 years period from 1997 to 2000. Brushings from 58 biliary strictures were obtained during endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. They were compared with histological proof obtained by surgical biopsy or percutaneous fine-needle aspiration cytology and/or clinical findings. These were reported as benign or malignant. Eleven patients were excluded due to incomplete data. Eighteen patients had benign brushings. Fourteen of the 29 patients in whom histological confirmation of malignancy brushings was obtained were also reported as malignant. The sensitivity of endoscopic brushings was 48.2%, specificity 100% and diagnostic accuracy 55.2%. No major complications were seen in our study group.

Résumé

Metastasis to thyroid gland are rare. The primary sites which metastasize to thyroid gland include the breast, lung, kidney and stomach. Among lung cancer metastasizing to the thyroid, adenocarcinomas are the commonest followed by squamous, small cell and large cell carcinomas. The bronchioloalveolar carcinoma has not been reported to metastasize to the thyroid. In this case report we document this rare occurrence.

Résumé

Tuberculosis of the parotid gland is a rare entity. Only about a hundred cases have been reported till date, mostly from parotidectomy specimens. The present case was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration and treated successfully by short-course antitubercular chemotherapy. An early diagnosis can avoid parotidectomy, which can be a hazardous procedure in a medically treatable condition.
