  • Title: Papillary cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. Report of a case diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology.
    Author: Jayaram G, Chaturvedi KU, Jindal RK, Venugopal S, Kapoor R.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1990; 34(3):429-33. PubMed ID: 2188471.
    Abstract:
    Fine needle aspiration (FNA) performed on a young woman who presented with a mass in the left hypochondrium yielded fluid. Smears and Cytospin preparations of the fluid showed good cellularity, consisting of relatively monomorphic cells forming a perivascular papillary pattern. FNA cytology thus suggested a diagnosis of papillary cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. Surgical removal of the pancreatic tumor and detailed histologic study confirmed the cytologic diagnosis.
