Abstract
We describe an unusual case of cervical meningioma presenting as a carotid body tumour. This case emphasises the importance of cytoradiologic correlation in lesions with atypical imaging findings; and the crucial role of fine needle aspiration cytology in accurately diagnosing masses in precarious anatomic sites of the head and neck.
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.
