摘要:

AbstractIn order to determine the accuracy of fine‐needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of inflammatory pancreatic masses (pseudocyst and abscess), we reviewed 91 FNAC specimens performed during 1985‐1989 at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center. All specimens were collected under computed tomographic guidance.A sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 98% were recorded in the diagnosis of inflammatory pancreatic masses. The sensitivity and specificity of the method in the diagnosis of malignant neoplasms were 79.5% and 100%, respectively.We conclude that fine‐needle aspiration cytology of pancreas is not only an important diagnostic tool in patients with pancreatic cancer, but can also be used to diagnose inflammatory masses of the pancreas. In fact, aspiration of such masses may not only be diagnostic, but also therapeutic in some pat

摘要:

AbstractThis report details the cytologic findings from a case of peritoneal multicystic mesothelioma (MCM). Fine‐needle aspiration of a 20 cm abdominal mass in a 31‐year‐old man yielded a specimen which consisted of a monomorphous population of mesothelial cells lacking cytologic atypia which were arranged in three patterns: monolayered sheets, single cells, and two‐cell‐thick strands of mesothelial cells with little or no intervening stroma. The background was clean, without necrotic debris or abundant inflammatory cells. The mesothelial cells were not arranged in prominent papillary formations; mitotic figures were not found. The mesothelial cells were cytokeratin positive and vimentin positive, and negative for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and factor VIII. The FNA findings from MCM should be distinguished from those of a variety of other abdominal lesions, including cystic lymphangioma, ovarian and primary peritoneal epithelial tumors, necrotic tumors with cystic degeneration, developmental cysts, and infecti

摘要:

AbstractFine‐needle aspiration (FNA) cytology was performed in seven cases of fibromatosis of variable types with tumorous clinical presentation. These included: four cases of musculoaponeurotic fibromatosis, two in posterior neck muscles, one in anterior neck muscles and one in intercostal muscles; one case of fibromatosis of the breast; and two cases of fibromatosis colli in neonates. In all cases the specimens contained connective tissue with many fibroblast‐like cells, lacking features which could indicate a malignant lesion.The findings in these cases indicate that, although by FNA cytology in fibromatoses a specific diagnosis for each pathologic entity may not be easily reached, in the proper clinical setting the cytologic findings can be of sufficient relevance to offset the need for an open tissue biopsy, where there are valid reasons against a surgical intervent

摘要:

AbstractThe authors report a case of fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) of a breast mass in a 36‐year‐old woman with previous history of lumpectomy and therapeutic radiation for breast carcinoma. The changes seen were interpreted as recurrent carcinoma, while subsequent biopsy showed only radiation changes. Radiation‐induced changes in breast tissue are a potential diagnostic pitfall. The characteristic cytopathologic changes and their differential diagnosis are di
