  • Title: Fine-needle aspiration of spleen: diagnosis of a solitary ovarian metastasis.
    Author: Nosanchuk JS, Tyler WS, Terepka RH.
    Journal: Diagn Cytopathol; 1988; 4(2):159-61. PubMed ID: 3243164.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient in whom a solitary splenic lesion detected by computed tomography (CT) was successfully diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy under CT guidance. The ability to distinguish metastatic carcinoma from lymphoma in the spleen assisted the clinician in making therapeutic decisions. Fine-needle aspiration of spleen is a reasonable diagnostic approach that has been underutilized.
