Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is an important technique in the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial conditions. We describe here the cytological and immunocytological findings in four patients with central giant cell granuloma. All the aspirates showed mononuclear cells associated with many giant cells. We conclude that immunocytochemical examination of FNAB specimens helps to confirm the provisional clinical diagnosis of central giant cell granuloma.
细针穿刺活检（FNAB）是诊断口腔颌面部疾病的一项重要技术。我们在此描述4例中央巨细胞肉芽肿患者的细胞学和免疫细胞学检查结果。所有穿刺物均显示单核细胞伴有许多巨细胞。我们得出结论，FNAB标本的免疫细胞化学检查有助于证实中央巨细胞肉芽肿的初步临床诊断。
