The cytomorphologic features in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies from 31 primary and 33 recurrent adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) were investigated. The correct FNA diagnosis was established in 24 of 31 primary ACC (77%). The diagnostic clue in aspirates from ACC are large globules of extracell
## Adenoid cystic carcinoma {ACC) is a pnmary salivary-gland neoplasm which ppically vields characteristic cvtomotphologv upon fine-needle aspiration (FNA). We report on the FNA findings of a case of ACC metastatic to the liver which demonstrated a prehminantlv solid, poorly-differentiated pattern.
A series of 33 tumor cases (13 fine-needle aspirates and 20 effusion specimens) were evaluated for the expression of two cytokeratin (CK) subtypes; CK 20, expressed primarily in tumors of the GI tract, mucinous ovarian tumors and transitional cell carcinomas, and CK 7, found chiefly in non-GI tract
