Abstract

Malignant pleural effusions are uncommon in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). We report a case of this in an elderly female patient. Her previous history of ductal breast carcinoma, ovarian serous carcinoma, and non-small cell lung carcinoma prompted several possible differential diagnoses. We discuss the importance of cytology specimens in the diagnosis of lung carcinomas, and the cytomorphological features of SCLC with their nuances and subtleties.

恶性胸腔积液中小细胞肺癌的细胞形态学评估

恶性胸腔积液在小细胞肺癌（SCLC）中并不常见。我们报告了一例老年女性患者的恶性胸腔积液。她既往有乳腺导管癌、卵巢浆液性癌和非小细胞肺癌病史，因此可能存在多种鉴别诊断。我们讨论了细胞学标本在肺癌诊断中的重要性，以及 SCLC 的细胞形态学特征及其细微差别和微妙之处。

期刊介绍： This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
