The case of a 9-month-old infant who presented with an abdominal mass since birth is discussed here. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of this mass was performed, from which it was thought to be a small round tumor, possibly a hepatoblastoma (HB). Histopathologically, however, it was found to be a mesenchymal hamartoma (MH). This case report thus highlights this cytological limitation.
本文讨论了一名自出生以来即出现腹部肿块的9个月大婴儿的病例。对该肿块进行了细针穿刺（FNA）细胞学检查，据此认为它是一个小圆细胞瘤，可能是肝母细胞瘤（HB）。然而，组织病理学检查发现它是间叶性错构瘤（MH）。因此，本病例报告突出了这种细胞学检查的局限性。
