The cytologic diagnosis of primary mediastinal lesions is challenging due to the large number of lesions which may arise (i.e., lymphoma, thymoma, germ cell tumor), often with overlapping cytomorphologic features. We present an instructive case of primary mediastinal non-Hodgkin's large-cell lymphom

## Background: The primary diagnosis of non-hodgkin's lymphoma/leukemia (nhl) by fine-needle aspiration (fna) is controversial. the authors reviewed their experience with fna and flow cytometry (fc) to determine the usefulness and limitations of these techniques in the diagnosis of nhl. ## Methods
Lymphangiomas are uncommon in the posterior mediastinum. We report a case of a lymphangioma in this location that was diagnosed by computed tomographic-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy. The cell block of the lesion closely simulated a normal structure immediately adjacent to the target and could
W e have read with interest the articles published in Cancer Cyto- pathology regarding the use of find-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens for gene expression profiling. [1][2][3] We agree that FNA may allow for the procurement of ample tissue for subsequent gene expression analysis and are optimistic
