Abstract
|
|
|
Proliferative fasciitis is a benign pseudosarcomatous mesenchymal lesion occurring in the subcutis. The lesion occurs clinically as a tumorous mass that develops within a rather short time in elderly patients. We recently experiecened a
case
of fine needle aspiration cytology of proliferative fasciitis in the left anterior chest wall of a 72 year-old male patient.
The smear revealed two types of cells. One was the large and mostly oval cell with one or two nuclei lying at the periphery of the cell body and abundant basophilic cytoplasm like the ganglion cell. The nuclei were round to oval, had vesicular
chromatin and contained prominent nucleoli. The other was the spindle shaped fibroblast with an oval nucleus. The differential diagnosis includes a true tumor such as ganglioneuroma. rhabdomyosarcoma, and liposarcoma and therefore fine needle
aspiration cytology is very much indicated in order to exclude these possibilities.
