Abstract
|
|
|
The incidence of pulmonary mycotic infection is increasing these days, and it can be frequently over-diagnosed as very well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma on sputum cytology due to its similar morphology.
Althouh each cell in pulmonary mycosis shows marked atypism or metaplastic changes, but we must considered the whole spectrums for differential diagnosis, ie, true tumor diathesis, volume of atypical cells, or chromatin pattern of the cell etc.
Herein we report a case of pulmonary mycosis overdiagnosed as highly suspicious squamous cell carcinoma on sputum cytology.
