  • Title: Fine needle aspiration cytologic findings in pseudolymphoma cutis.
    Author: Kumar PV, Roozitalab MH, Hambarsoomian B, Sotoodeh M.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1991; 35(3):337-40. PubMed ID: 1710405.
    Abstract:
    Skin nodules in three patients were sampled by fine needle aspiration. Cytologic study of the aspirated material showed a polymorphic cell population composed of small and large lymphocytes, eosinophils, plasma cells and tingible macrophages. Occasional giant cells and mast cells were also seen. These cytologic features suggested Hodgkin's lymphoma, lymphomatoid papulosis, large-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and regressing atypical histiocytosis. However, because of the lack of typical Reed-Sternberg cells and due to the presence of polymorphic cells with fine chromatin, regular nuclear borders and inconspicuous nucleoli, these cases were diagnosed cytologically as a benign lymphoproliferative disorder, pseudolymphoma cutis. Biopsy of the lesions confirmed the cytologic diagnoses.
