✦ Synopsis

The cytology files of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center were searched from 1990 to present for cases diagnosed as or suspicious for PTLD. Fourteen specimens from 12 patients were identified. Five specimens were eliminated from consideration, three because of lack of histologic confirmation and two because only histologic core biopsy material was available for review. The remaining nine specimens (two FNAs, one from lung and one from peripancreatic lymph node; three pleural fluids; two peritoneal fluids; one cerebrospinal fluid; and one gastric brushing) were retrospectively reviewed.
