We present a case of cerebral neurocysticercosis evaluated cytologically utilizing the "squash smear" technique. The parasite was very necrotic, and the smears contained numerous calcareous corpuscles only. These corpuscles were initially interpreted as psammoma bodies, quite consistent with the clinical and radiologic impression that the patient had a meningioma. However, on close examination, the corpuscles were recognized immediately as coming from a parasite. The cytologic differences between psammoma bodies and calcareous corpuscles are discussed. We also review briefly the nature of cysticercosis and its cytologic diagnosis.
我们报告一例利用“压片涂片”技术进行细胞学评估的脑囊尾蚴病病例。寄生虫已高度坏死，涂片仅含有大量钙质小体。这些小体最初被解释为砂粒体，这与患者患有脑膜瘤的临床和影像学印象相当一致。然而，经过仔细检查，这些小体立即被识别为来自寄生虫。本文讨论了砂粒体和钙质小体之间的细胞学差异。我们还简要回顾了囊尾蚴病的性质及其细胞学诊断。
