✦ Synopsis
Salivary duct carcinoma is a high grade malignancy which histologically strongly resembles ductal carcinoma of the breast. The findings from five cases of histologically proven salivary duct carcinoma sampled by preoperative fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology are presented. Characteristic cytomorphologic features include cohesive clusters and flat sheets of epithelial cells which display a cribriform pattern with eccentrically located, hyperchromatic nuclei, abundant finely granular cytoplasm, and necrosis in the smear background.

## Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the thyroid gland, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (fnab) often is the initial diagnostic method used in its detection. prior studies have shown that immunohistochemical staining for various cytokeratins in genera
We report a case of salivary duct carcinoma arising from a pleomorphic adenoma (ex pleomorphic adenoma) in a parotid salivary gland of a 70-yr-old man. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed two distinct subsets of cells. There was the typical biphasic pattern of pleomorphic adenoma consisting of blan
