Pitfalls in fine needle aspiration cytology*

Cytopathology, 2003
A review of pitfalls encountered in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of all organs and tissues and based mainly on the author's 35‐year experience of diagnostic FNAC in clinical practice is presented. Diagnostic difficulties are usually related to deviations from common cytological criteria that may occur in some lesions.

Fine‐needle aspiration cytology of “ancient” schwannoma

Diagnostic Cytopathology, 1999
The term "ancient" schwannoma was proposed for a group of neural tumors showing degenerative changes and marked nuclear atypia. Prior to the realization that the observed atypia was a regressive phenomenon, many of these lesions were erroneously diagnosed as sarcomas.

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Ovarian Lesions

Acta Cytologica, 2005
To assess the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in ovarian lesions.Sixty-two fine needle aspirations of varied ovarian masses were performed between January 2000 and February 2003. Aspiration material was obtained from fresh tissues at the time of frozen section before dissection of the specimens. The slides were evaluated by a

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology

2011
The application of fine needle aspiration ­cytology to the management of thyroid disorders has an interesting practical history. The first clinical uses of aspiration cytology evolved from Scandinavia in the 1950s [1]. Martin and Ellis utilized this technique in 1930 to diagnose a variety of masses at Memorial Hospital in New York [2].

Diagnosis of mastocytosis by fine‐needle aspiration cytology

Diagnostic Cytopathology, 1998
We report a case of a 28-yr-old man in whom mastocytosis was diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of enlarged periaortic lymph nodes. FNA cytology revealed numerous mast cells characterized by cells having round to oval eccentrically placed nuclei and associated coarsely granular cytoplasm, most conspicuous on Diff-Quik- and Giemsa-stained smears.
