Sclerosing lipogranuloma of the scrotum is a rare granulomatous lesion of the subcutis. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no English-language reports dealing with its cytologic findings.
A fine needle aspiration specimen from a mass in the scrotum in a 62-year-old male showed epithelioid cells, multinucleated giant cells and fibroblasts, which were suggestive of sclerosing lipogranuloma. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology of the resected specimen.
Fine needle aspiration cytology is useful for the diagnosis of sclerosing lipogranuloma. It is important, however, to interpret the fine needle aspiration cytology specimen in conjunction with the clinical information.
阴囊硬化性脂膜炎是一种罕见的皮下肉芽肿性病变。据我们所知，尚无关于其细胞学表现的英文报道。
一名62岁男性阴囊肿物的细针穿刺标本显示有上皮样细胞、多核巨细胞和成纤维细胞，提示为硬化性脂膜炎。切除标本的组织学检查证实了诊断。
细针穿刺细胞学检查对硬化性脂膜炎的诊断有用。然而，结合临床信息解读细针穿刺细胞学标本很重要。
