Although thymomas are the commonest neoplasms of the anterior mediastinum, distinction between benign and malignant thymomas is controversial on Fine needle aspiration biopsy. We present cytomorphological features of a case of invasive thymoma on computed tomographic guided fine needle aspiration cytology and its basis is discussed in light of current concepts of thymic tumours.
虽然胸腺瘤是前纵隔最常见的肿瘤,但在细针穿刺活检中,良性和恶性胸腺瘤的鉴别仍存在争议。我们展示了一例侵袭性胸腺瘤在计算机断层扫描引导下细针穿刺细胞学检查的细胞形态学特征,并根据当前胸腺肿瘤的概念对其依据进行了讨论。
