Abstract

In summary, a review of the literature showed that there are only isolated case reports of ruptured pheochromocytoma and to the best of our knowledge this report is the first to document metastatic phaeochromocytoma in peritoneal fluid within the cytopathology literature. Our case report emphasises the importance of clinical history in the context of the cytopathologic evaluation, and good cell block preparation, which allows the use of IHCs in challenging cases as it may lead to the discovery of unusual metastatic sources.

腹水中转移性恶性嗜铬细胞瘤：罕见的细胞学诊断。

综上所述，文献回顾显示，只有个别病例报告破裂的嗜铬细胞瘤，据我们所知，这是细胞病理学文献中第一个记录腹膜液转移性嗜铬细胞瘤的报告。我们的病例报告强调了临床病史在细胞病理学评估背景下的重要性，以及良好的细胞块制备，这允许在具有挑战性的病例中使用ihc，因为它可能导致发现不寻常的转移源。

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.
