Two cases of primary pulmonary actinomycosis had a radiologic and clinical picture of malignancy. The cases were diagnosed by microscopic examination of sputum that had been embedded in paraffin. The sputum samples were sent to the cytology laboratory for screening for neoplastic cells, and colonies of Actinomyces were seen in all samples. The authors emphasize the difficulties that can be encountered by the cytopathologist in identifying classic actinomycotic colonies in debris.
两例原发性肺放线菌病呈现出恶性肿瘤的放射学和临床特征。通过对石蜡包埋痰液的显微镜检查确诊了这两例病例。痰液样本被送往细胞实验室筛查肿瘤细胞，所有样本中均可见放线菌菌落。作者强调了细胞病理学家在识别碎片中典型放线菌菌落时可能遇到的困难。
