The cytologic features of a primary epidermoid cyst of the brain diagnosed by intraoperative fine needle aspiration cytology are reported. The cytomorphologic findings included numerous anucleated squames, polarizable cholesterol crystals and a few squamous cells with keratohyaline granules. This case demonstrated the efficacy of using both the Diff-Quik and Papanicolaou stains in evaluation of cystic lesions of the brain. A discussion of the expected aspiration cytologic findings of other cystic cerebral lesions is also presented.
报告了通过术中细针穿刺细胞学诊断的原发性脑表皮样囊肿的细胞学特征。细胞形态学发现包括大量无核鳞状上皮、可极化的胆固醇结晶以及一些含有透明角质颗粒的鳞状细胞。该病例证明了使用Diff-Quik和巴氏染色评估脑囊性病变的有效性。还讨论了其他脑囊性病变预期的穿刺细胞学发现。
