## BACKGROUND. The papillary variant of renal cell carcinoma has distinctive pathologic and clinical features. Because the prognosis of patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma differs from that of patients with other variants of renal cell carcinoma, accurate diagnosis based on cytologic mate
We wish to report on a case of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) occurring in a 9-yr-old female child, recently diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. This girl was admitted with abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant. A right abdominal mass was detected, and abdominal CT scan showed an expa

The aim of this investigation was to report on the diagnostic accuracy of conventional effusion cytology. Cytological diagnoses of 300 pleural effusions and 300 ascites were compared with clinical and/or histological follow-ups of the respective patients. Sensitivity of our cytological diagnoses on
Five cases of histologically confirmed grade 1 papillary transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis investigated by needle aspiration biopsy cytology were reviewed. In all cases the needle aspirates were hypercellular. Abundant benign-appearing urothelial cells in thick clusters, in small aggre
