This report describes the fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of a case of pleuropulmonary blastoma in a 3-yr-9-mo-old male. Pleuropulmonary blastoma is considered by most authors to be distinct from pulmonary blastoma and is a rare malignant tumor of the intrathoracic cavity. FNA smears were cell

. Because of its rarity, the diagnosis of chordoma may be diffΔ±cult to render, especially on fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). However, a clear-cut distinction of chordoma from other neoplasms is of utmost importance, since the prognosis and treatment of the patient will depend on the final diagnosis. This distinction in the case of metastases can be made easily, where correlation of previous histology has been done and/or ancillary studies have been performed. Diagn. Cytopathol.
