Fine needle aspiration (FNA) was performed on small lumps in three female patients in the reproductive age group. One lump in the axilla and one on the chest wall were clinically suspected of being a lipoma or an angioma while another axillary lump was thought to be an enlarged lymph node. Cytologically, the aspirates revealed the presence of ectopic breast tissue. These cases show yet another instance in which FNA cytology can make the diagnosis of lumps of unknown origin, avoiding the need for open biopsy.
对三名育龄期女性患者的小肿块进行了细针穿刺抽吸（FNA）。临床上，腋窝处的一个肿块和胸壁上的一个肿块怀疑是脂肪瘤或血管瘤，而另一个腋窝肿块被认为是肿大的淋巴结。细胞学检查显示，抽吸物中存在异位乳腺组织。这些病例再次表明，FNA细胞学检查可以诊断不明来源的肿块，避免了开放性活检的必要性。
