Cytologic diagnosis of a melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy occurring in the cranial bones.

Melanotic neutroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare, usually benign tumor commonly occurring in the maxilla. MNTIs at unusual sites like the cranium clinically mimic malignant small round cell tumors. Consequently, a correct preoperative cytologic diagnosis of MNTI at these sites helps in the surgical management of the patient. We report on a cytologically diagnosed case of MNTI in the frontotemporal region of the skull in an infant. Aspirates from the lesion were cellular, with a bimodal population mainly of small neuroblast-like cells admixed with a few large epithelioid cells with melanin granules. In the present case, following the cytologic diagnosis a wide local excision was carried out, and the histologic examination confirmed the cytologic diagnosis. Diagn. Cytopathol. 1999;21:280-283.

Fine-needle aspiration cytology of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy: a case report.

Cytological findings of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), involving bilateral cervical lymph nodes of a 12-yr-old boy, are presented here. A striking feature was the presence of large histiocytes with abundant pale cytoplasm containing well-preserved lymphocytes, plasma cells, and occasional neutrophils, scattered in a background of reactive lymphoid cells. Subsequent open biopsy of the lymph node mass confirmed the cytologic findings. Cytologic features of SHML are virtually diagnostic and can negate the need for an open biopsy in most cases.
