Abstract
|
|
|
We describe the cytologic features of metastatic ameloblastoma which presented as multiple bilateral lung nodules. The patient was a 22-year-old male who had recurrent ameloblastoma of the mandible 7 years after the diagnosis of
primary
lesion.
Fine needle aspiration of one of the pulmonary nodules revealed patchy arrangement of cell clusters with outer palisading columnar cells and inner irregular loose polygonal cells. Most of tumor cells had plenty cytoplasm and ovoid nuclei
which
lacked either pleomorphism or hyperchromatism.
The cytologic findings corresponded with histologic features of the primary site which was also benign looking ameloblastoma.
