Capillaries. A cytologic feature of pulmonary carcinoid tumors

M L Mitchell et al. Acta Cytol. 1991 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

The cytologic features of pulmonary carcinoid tumors have been well described, but most reports have not mentioned capillaries as a prominent finding. Two cases are described in which abundant capillaries in endobronchial brushing and fine needle aspiration specimens were a helpful feature in making the correct diagnosis.
