  • Title: Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis metastatic to the metacarpal. A case report correlating cytologic and histologic findings.
    Author: Hayes MM, Jones EC, Verma AK, Lim CH, Milne G, Tse E.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1992; 36(6):946-50. PubMed ID: 1449034.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the cytologic, radiologic and histologic findings in a 76-year-old male who presented with a pathologic fracture of the first metacarpal bone as the result of metastatic transitional cell carcinoma. The primary neoplasm was sited in the right renal pelvis. Metastases were also detected in the liver and confirmed cytologically. Problems encountered with the cytologic diagnosis are explained by correlation with the histologic findings. The case also illustrates the importance of clinicopathologic correlation when interpreting fine needle aspiration biopsies.
