Intraabdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is an extremely rare entity. This study describes fine-needle aspiration, ascitic fluid, and touch imprint cytomorphology of DSRCT in 2 patients with extensive abdomino-pelvic disease. Cytopathologic features were unique and showed good morphologic correlation with subsequent histology of the resected tumor. Immunocytochemical profile and differential diagnosis with other small round cell tumors in this age group are also discussed.
腹腔促结缔组织增生性小圆细胞肿瘤(DSRCT)是一种极其罕见的疾病。本研究描述了2例患有广泛腹盆腔疾病的DSRCT患者的细针穿刺、腹水及印片细胞形态学表现。细胞病理学特征独特,与切除肿瘤的后续组织学表现具有良好的形态学相关性。还讨论了免疫细胞化学特征以及与该年龄组其他小圆细胞肿瘤的鉴别诊断。
