Lymphocyte-rich thymoma often contains lymphoblasts, and lymphoblastic lymphoma often infiltrates the thymus gland. Although these two neoplasms are clinically distinct in most cases, their cytologic features may be similar on biopsy. We describe a jineneedle aspiration biopsy of a thymoma in a 50-yr-old man to increase awareness of this pitfall in cytologic interpretation.

We report one case of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease with uncommon pseudosuppurative presentations in fineneedle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) samples and on histopathologic material. The criteria for cytologic diagnosis include atypical mononuclear cells and diagnostic SR cells in the purulent exu
