  • Title: Status of intraoperative cytology in the diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioma.
    Author: Misselevich I, Luria M, Malatskey S, Fradis M, Podoshin L, Boss JH.
    Journal: Diagn Cytopathol; 1998 Mar; 18(3):227-9. PubMed ID: 9523144.
    Abstract:
    Whereas evaluation of the frozen section of a subcutaneous retro-auricular mass was equivocal, the correct diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioma could be suggested on examination of intraoperative cytological smears. It is proposed that in the absence of cytological cues of malignancy and in the presence of the proper clinical setting, the constellation of vascular structures, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and clusters of cuboidal cells with vacuoles in their abundant acidophilic cytoplasm is indicative of epithelioid hemangioma.
