  • Warthin's tumour: unusual vs. common morphological findings in fine needle aspiration biopsies
    Strojan Fležar, Margareta ; Pogačnik, Ana, 1946-
    Fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNA) of 47 Warthin's tumours confirmed by histology were re-evaluated for cytomorphological findings. The majority of aspirates (37/47) contained a typical backaround ... with proteinaceous substance and cell debris, along with cellular elements represented by oncocytic, lymphoid, and mast cells witll degranulated cytoplasm. Uncommon cellular findings were true squamous cells (1/47), atypical cells with vacuoles (1 /47), osteoclastic giant cells (1/47), epithelioid cells (1/47), mast cells with preserved granules in cytoplasm (3/47), amd siderophaes (4/47). Uncommon findings in the background were corpora amylacea-like structures and homogeneous bright red droplets. Squamous cells and atypical cells with vacuoles caused diagnostic difficulties in distinguishing a Warthin's tumour from a squamous cell of mucoepidermoid carcinoma.. However, other unusual cellular and background findings were not worrying; therefore, they are merelyregarded as a curiosity in the cytomorphological appearance of the tumour.
