To evaluate the role of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in diagnosis of fungal infections, a retrospective analysis of 26 cases of fungal infection is described. The spectrum of various fungi encountered on cytologic microscopy of aspirated material and fungal culture was as follows: Aspergillu
Fine-needle aspiration was performed on an orbital mass in a 53-yr-old woman. The cytologic diagnosis was meningioma, which was later confirmed by histologic study of biopsy material. The cytologic features of the aspirated material (nuclear pseudoinclusions, psammoma bodies, and cells arranged in s
