Abstract
Adult rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumour of skeletal muscle origin and is rarely reported on fine needle aspiration cytology. This tumour has a preference for males older than 40 years of age. The most common sites include the parapharyngeal space, larynx, salivary glands, mouth, and soft tissue of the head and neck region. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), a less invasive alternative diagnostic method than incisional biopsy, can accurately diagnose this benign neoplasm and avoid aggressive treatment. To the best of our knowledge, only 11 cases of adult rhabdomyoma are diagnosed on FNAC. We herein report one such rare case of adult rhabdomyoma of the floor of the mouth in a 39-year-old male diagnosed with FNAC, emphasising its utility in making a definite diagnosis of adult rhabdomyoma.
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.
