To evaluate the role of fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of soft tissue hydatid cysts.
Five cases of soft tissue hydatid cyst were diagnosed primarily by fine needle aspiration cytology.
In all cases, large fragments of acellular material, finely lamellated, were found. There were no complications related to fine needle aspiration, and histologic studies confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst.
When acellular, laminated fragments suggestive of a laminated layer are identified on smears, hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis, even in atypical locations and in the absence of hooklets, protoscolices or both.
评估细针穿刺细胞学检查在软组织包虫囊肿诊断中的作用。
5例软组织包虫囊肿主要通过细针穿刺细胞学检查确诊。
所有病例均发现大量无细胞物质碎片,呈细层状。未出现与细针穿刺相关的并发症,组织学研究证实为包虫囊肿。
当涂片上发现提示有板层状层的无细胞、分层碎片时,即使在非典型部位且未发现小钩、原头节或两者均未发现的情况下,鉴别诊断时也应考虑包虫囊肿。
