RESUMO
Twenty cases of ovarian neoplasm (12 non-coelomic and 8 coelomic and 8 epithelial tumors) have been subjected to fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). FNAB yielded adequate material in all those cases and it was possible to accurately classify the tumors in 16 cases (80%). In eight cases of non coelomic epithelial neoplasms preoperative cytological diagnosis helped in conservative surgery. Cytological features of different groups of ovarian tumors are to some extent characteristic. FNAB is a relatively safe and reliable diagnostic procedure.

Perinatal events of 180 babies with nuchal cord (umbilical cord entanglement around foetal neck) over one year have been studied. The incidence of nuchal cord was 5.74% of all hospital deliveries. More than one third (39%) of them had tight nuchal cord (TNC) and 61% had loose nuchal cord (LNC). Babies with TNC were more frequently met with foetal distress (51%), prolonged second stage (11%), non-toxaemic accidental haemorrhage (7%) and operative delivery (56%) when compared to babies with LNC and controls (without nuchal cord). Nearly one fourth (24%) of the babies with TNC were born as small for date, had birth asphyxia (61%) and 8.5% died during perinatal period. Perinatal outcome was adversely affected by TNC in comparison to LNC and controls.

Spontaneous nipple discharge as a presenting symptom was seen in 80 patients out of 3500 patients referred for cytologic examination of breast during last 5 years. Gross appearance of nipple discharge was bloody (33), serous (29), milky (16) and yellowish (2). Cytology smears showed 5 cases of carcinoma and 14 cases of intraductal papilloma. One out of two cases of male nipple discharge revealed malignant cells. Bloody nipple discharge was more often associated with carcinoma and intraductal papilloma. Hence it underscored the importance of cytologic evaluation of bloody nipple discharge.
