Adrenal cortical nodule mimicking small round cell malignancy on fine needle aspiration

K W Min et al. Acta Cytol. 1988 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The cases of two elderly female patients with benign adrenal cortical nodules that mimicked small round cell malignancies by fine needle aspiration cytology are reported. Electron microscopic examination of part of the aspirate revealed the cells to be aggregates of bare nuclei of broken adrenal cortical cells, leading to a correct diagnosis.
