We report a case of desmoplastic malignant melanoma metastatic to the parotid gland initially evaluated by fine-needle aspiration. The cytologic findings consisted of scattered spindle cells in a background of heterogeneous lymphoid cells. The spindle cells were scant and displayed mild cytologic at
Three fine-needle aspiration biopsies from 2 patients with parotid masses yielded large numbers of nontyrosine crystalloids. One patient proved to have a benign cyst that was resected because it did not subside following two fine-needle aspirates. In a second patient, the swelling shrank after a cou
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
