Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in fine needle aspiration smears: a clinico-cytologic study of 18 pediatric cases and correlation with 68 adult patients.

Objective: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a self-limiting disorder which usually affects young women. There are only a few studies on pediatric KFD patients and their fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytodiagnosis. We report a series of pediatric KFD patients diagnosed by FNA cytology and compare them with adults.

Pancreatic metastasis in a case of small cell lung carcinoma: Diagnostic role of fine-needle aspiration cytology and immunocytochemistry.

Small cell lung carcinoma represents a group of highly malignant tumors giving rise to early and widespread metastasis at the time of diagnosis. However, the pancreas is a relatively infrequent site of metastasis by this neoplasm, and there are only occasional reports on its fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology diagnosis. A 66-year-old man presented with extensive mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a mass in the pancreatic tail.
