Abstract
Angiosarcoma with malignant effusion is an uncommon yet clinically aggressive presentation, which poses as a diagnostic pitfall with its overlapping cytomorphologic features with metastatic adenocarcinoma. In this article, two cases reported in the literature were reviewed for cytology, immunocytochemistry, and clinical course. Key clinical hints, useful cytological features, and immunocytochemical markers in the diagnostic approach of this entity are presented.
期刊介绍:
Diagnostic Cytopathology is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of information in the field of cytopathology, with special emphasis on the practical, clinical aspects of the discipline. The editors invite original scientific articles, as well as special review articles, feature articles, and letters to the editor, from laboratory professionals engaged in the practice of cytopathology. Manuscripts are accepted for publication on the basis of scientific merit, practical significance, and suitability for publication in a journal dedicated to this discipline. Original articles can be considered only with the understanding that they have never been published before and that they have not been submitted for simultaneous review to another publication.
