  • Title: Diagnostic pitfalls in cerebrospinal fluid cytology.
    Author: Takeda M, King DE, Choi HY, Gomi K, Lang WR.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1981; 25(3):245-50. PubMed ID: 6942615.
    Abstract:
    Four types of cells that may be the source of important diagnostic pitfalls in cerebrospinal fluid cytology are presented: (1) nucleus pulposus cells, (2) keratinized squamous cells from craniopharyngioma and sphenoid sinus carcinoma, (3) reactive leptomeningeal cells and (4) epitheloid cells from sarcoidosis. For each the cellular morphology is described and representative clinical, cytologic and histologic presentations are discussed.
