Fine needle aspiration cytology is a useful technique in the diagnosis of several parasitic infections. The present case highlights the aspiration cytology findings in a case of Echinococcus oligarthrus infection, a rare variant of the Echinococcus species affecting humans. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on the cytology of E oligarthrus in English.
A submandibular swelling developed in a 14-year-old male. A mistaken diagnosis of Cysticercus cellulosae was made on the first aspirate and of a hydatid cyst (Echinococcus granulosus) on the second aspirate. A diagnosis of E oligarthrus was made on subsequent histopathologic examination of the excised lesion.
This seems to be the first case report in English of the cytomorphology of E oligarthrus on fine needle aspiration cytology with histopathologic confirmation.
细针穿刺细胞学检查是诊断多种寄生虫感染的一种有用技术。本病例突出了少节棘球绦虫感染病例的穿刺细胞学检查结果，少节棘球绦虫是棘球绦虫属中一种影响人类的罕见变种。据我们所知，这是英文文献中首例关于少节棘球绦虫细胞学的病例报告。
一名14岁男性出现下颌下肿胀。首次穿刺抽吸物误诊为猪囊尾蚴，第二次穿刺抽吸物误诊为包虫囊肿（细粒棘球绦虫）。对切除病变进行后续组织病理学检查后诊断为少节棘球绦虫。
这似乎是英文文献中首例经组织病理学证实的少节棘球绦虫细针穿刺细胞学检查的细胞形态学病例报告。
