air-dried for May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) staining and
others were fixed in ethanol for Papanicolaou (PAP) and
Hematoxylin-Eosine (HE) stainings. Operation material
was evaluated at Pathology Department, tissue specimens
were routinely processed; embedded in paraffine and
stained by HE and Masson’s Trichrome for histopathological
examinations.
Cytopathological Findings: FNA material was
highly cellular with neoplastic cells, scattered
individually or in clusters or whorles (Figure 1. a-b-c).
The cytological architecture was relatively uniform with
oval or spindle-shaped cells having cytoplasmic tails on
both poles. Nuclei were also oval or elongated shaped
with fine chromatine and rare prominent nucleoli.
Cytoplasms were generally observed as light basophilic
some of which contained few clear-vacuoles. No mitosis
or necrosis was seen. Cytopathological diagnosis was
‘suspicious cytology of a spindle cell lesion’.
