Abstract
Recurrent multiple benign granular cell tumours were observed in an adolescent with Noonan syndrome, a RASopathy linked to dysregulated RAS/MAPK signalling. This case suggests a potential association between aberrant pathway activation and tumour development, highlighting the need for evaluating associated fatal anomalies and conducting genetic studies.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Cytopathology is to publish articles relating to those aspects of cytology which will increase our knowledge and understanding of the aetiology, diagnosis and management of human disease. It contains original articles and critical reviews on all aspects of clinical cytology in its broadest sense, including: gynaecological and non-gynaecological cytology; fine needle aspiration and screening strategy.
Cytopathology welcomes papers and articles on: ultrastructural, histochemical and immunocytochemical studies of the cell; quantitative cytology and DNA hybridization as applied to cytological material.
