Abstract
|
|
|
A fine needle aspiration biopsy specimen of a retroperitoneal mass in a 26-year-old man who had had an orchiectomy for seminoma was submitted for cytologic evaluation. Cytologic features of the specimen included uniform neoplastic
cells
found
singly or in groups of several cells intermingled whit lymphocytes in a characteristic foamy. lacelike background. These cells varied from 10 to 20 m in diameter. The nuclei were round to ovoid with fine or reticular chromatin and one or more
prominent nucleoli. The poorly defined cytoplasm stained pate-blue or blue with cytoplasmic vacuoles. The cytologic appearance was consistent with seminoma. Documented reports of the cytologic appearance of seminoma are rare. The
diagnosis
of primary gonadal seminoma by fine needle aspiration biopsy is probably not indicated since the tieatment of a primary gonadal tumor, regardless of its histogenesis. requires surgical resection. However, fine needle as piration
biopsy is
extremely valuable in the diagnosis of extragonadal as well as metastic and recurrent seminoma.
