This ''small blue cell'' pattern is most common in non-Warthin's types of monomorphic adenoma, or in adenoid cystic carcinoma. Small cell anaplastic carcinoma (primary or metastatic), me
A 79-yr-old woman presented with a 5-yr history of swelling of the left cheek. The fine-needle aspiration (FNA) smear showed a spindle-cell neoplasm with capillaries and benign endothelial cells. The spindle cells possessed pleomorphic, hyperchromatic elongated nuclei and a moderate amount of ill-de
