Infantile cartilaginous hamartoma of the rib. A case report.

BACKGROUND: Infantile cartilaginous hamartoma of the rib is a rare condition occurring in newborn infants, with an incidence of 1 in 3,000 (0.03%) among primary bone tumor cases. Reports of this condition so far have presented the clinical, radiologic and histopathologic features. To the best of our knowledge, reports of the cytopathologic features have not been documented. In the present case report, clinical, radiologic and cytopathologic features and differential diagnosis are enumerated. CASE: A 1-month-old, male infant presented with a chest wall mass with a clinical diagnosis of osteochondroma. On fine needle aspiration cytology, a diagnosis of infantile cartilaginous hamartoma of the rib was suggested; it was supplemented by the clinical history and radiologic findings. CONCLUSION: Although rare, this condition ought to be kept in mind while dealing with infantile chest wall masses to avoid an erroneous diagnosis of malignancy, owing to its ominous cytopathologic features.

Microfilariae in bronchial brushing cytology of symptomatic pulmonary lesions. A report of two cases.

Two cases of pulmonary filariasis with atypical clinical and radiologic features without significant eosinophilia are presented. A diagnosis of pulmonary filariasis could not have been made without bronchial brush cytology, which showed sheathed microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti. Both cases responded well to antifilarial treatment, indicating that the microfilariae were not an incidental finding but were responsible for the symptoms and radiologic lesions.
