A lipoblastoma, an uncommon tumor of childhood that can be mistaken for a liposarcoma, was preoperatively diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The characteristic features on the cytologic smears were the presence of immature fat cells in the form of spindle-shaped cells, stellate cells and vacuolated lipoblasts along with lipocytes. The cytologic diagnosis was confirmed by histologic study of the excised tumor.
脂肪母细胞瘤是一种儿童期罕见肿瘤，可能被误诊为脂肪肉瘤，通过细针穿刺细胞学检查术前得以诊断。细胞学涂片的特征性表现为存在梭形细胞、星状细胞和空泡状脂肪母细胞等不成熟脂肪细胞以及脂肪细胞。切除肿瘤的组织学研究证实了细胞学诊断。
