A patient with a previous diagnosis of lymphoma showed signs of dysphagia. Endoscopy found a lesion of the esophagus. Brush cytology and biopsy sampling were accomplished. The biopsy showed inflammation and granulation tissue but no tumor. The cytology specimen, however, was diagnostic of lymphoma. This case emphasizes the need for obtaining cytologic specimens concurrently with biopsies of esophageal lesions.
一名先前被诊断为淋巴瘤的患者出现吞咽困难症状。内镜检查发现食管有一处病变。完成了刷片细胞学检查和活检取样。活检显示为炎症和肉芽组织，但未发现肿瘤。然而，细胞学标本诊断为淋巴瘤。该病例强调了在对食管病变进行活检的同时获取细胞学标本的必要性。
