Yolk sac tumors (YST) in extragonadal locations are rare. Cytologic diagnosis of YST on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) smears may be a challenge to the cytopathologist. Further neo-adjuvant therapy may be based on cytologic diagnosis making accuracy important. We studied FNA material from a hepatic ma
Precise preoperative diagnosis of three malignant nerve sheath tumors (MNST) was based on their remarkably uniform and highly characteristic cytologic appearance. The differential diagnosis with benign nerve sheath tumors and other spindle cell sarcomas is addressed, and the possibility of achieving
## BACKGROUND. Tumors of the pancreas associated with extracellular mucin production include mucin-producing ductal adenocarcinoma, mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), and intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (IPMT). Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is used as an adjunct to radiologic analysis for the pre
