Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a valuable, noninvasive technique for head and neck pathology diagnosis. The objective of case images was to highlight the utility of FNAC for diagnosing suspected cases of ameloblastoma.
FNAC smears of suspected cases of ameloblastoma were evaluated using their cellular and stromal features.
Cellular features and background of smears exhibited characteristics of ameloblastoma. Predominant features included clusters of ameloblast-like cells and spindle cells in a myxoid background.
Careful evaluation of FNAC helps diagnose ameloblastomas and must be considered a vital diagnostic tool.
细针穿刺细胞学检查(FNAC)是一种用于头颈部病理诊断的有价值的非侵入性技术。病例图像的目的是突出FNAC在诊断成釉细胞瘤疑似病例中的作用。
利用细胞和基质特征对成釉细胞瘤疑似病例的FNAC涂片进行评估。
涂片的细胞特征和背景表现出成釉细胞瘤的特征。主要特征包括在黏液样背景中出现的成釉细胞样细胞簇和梭形细胞。
对FNAC进行仔细评估有助于诊断成釉细胞瘤,必须将其视为一种重要的诊断工具。
