✦ Synopsis

There are a number of conditions which can produce cells and elements which can mimic malignant cells in respiratory cytology specimens. ' Some, such as vegetable cells, pose problems mainly for the relatively inexperienced observer. Others, such as chemotherapy effect, can produce such perfect mimics that even experienced observers sometimes cannot make a definitive diagnosis. Clinical history may be very helpful in such situations, but in others, such as mycetoma, even radiologic findings can mimic carcinoma, making such cases quite problematic.

Following are examples of some classic pitfalls in the diagnosis of malignancy in sputum and bronchoscopic cytology specimens. The diagnostic criteria for the entities presented are compared and contrasted with those of the malignancies with which they are confused.
