Abstract
|
|
|
Cytopathologic findings of two cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea are reported. The carcinomas grew as an intratracheal mass. By bronchial washing brushing and/or post-bronchoscopic sputum cytology, large cohesive sheets,
lobulated clusters, or three dimensional ball-like structures were obtained. They had numerous cyst-like spaces containing characteristic globular basophilic material, The tumor cells were uniform and had a small amount of cytoplasm.
Nuclei
were small and hyperchromatic. Nucleoli were occasionally observed. The cytologic diagnosis was confirmed by bronchoscopic biopsies.
