During a 10-yr period, 128 consecutive cases of pulmonary adenocarcinoma of varying differentiation were diagnosed with percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Sediments from the needle and syringe washings with 3% glutaraldehyde were obtained and processed for electron microscopic evaluation in

While there is much evidence that fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FMAB) is sensitive and specijk, there is little in formation comparing the proportions of unsatisfactory aspirates obtained by clinicians or pathologists. We reviewed 2.1 99 FNAB reports of superficial lesions. Cases were grouped by or
A series of 31 fine-needle aspiration biopsies were studied ultrastructurally in order to evaluate the usefulness of electron microscopy in the diagnosis of aspiration biopsies. In seven cases, the electron microscopic findings were crucial to the diagnosis. In the remaining cases, electron microsco
## W e describe five cases of extragonadal germ cell tumor (EGCT) diagnosed by the electron microscope (EM) on cytological material. The clinical diagnosis was incorrect in all cases and EGCT was suspected in two cases: cytological diagnosis by light microscopy confirmed the presence of malignant tu
