โœฆ Synopsis

The cytologic features derived from a fine-needle aspiration of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) of the base of the tongue are described. The tumor cells were composed of cuboidal epithelial cells and short, spindle-shaped myoepitheliallike cells, and they formed large cell clusters. In the central portion of the clusters, myxoid materials were present, and palisading tumor cells occasionally surrounded them. Histological examination revealed solid proliferation of the epithelial cuboidal and spindle cells. The former frequently formed tubular and papillary structures. The tumor was not encapsulated, and invasion of adjacent muscle tissue was noted. Although the cytologic differentiation from cellular variants of pleomorphic adenoma and myoepithelioma is diffฤฑcult, the feature of palisading tumor cells may be useful in the differential diagnosis.

Low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma of the breast (LASCB) is a relatively recently-described, rare histotype of breast cancer that has a favorable prognosis. Its principal microscopic features are the presence of ''syringoid'' (''tadpole''-shaped) ductal profiles of tumor cells, a bland and modestly c

Mucous retention cyst (MRC) is a common submucosal lesion of the oral cavity that, when deeply seated, simulates a neoplasm. This report describes the fine-needle aspiration cytology findings of a lingual MRC of complex architecture and with metaplastic epithelium. In addition, we emphasize its cyto

Fibrothecomas are common, but their malignant counterpart is extraordinarily rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the cytologic features of malignant fibrothecoma. We had an opportunity to study it because the 70-yr-old woman refused initial surgery until the tumor reached
