Abstract
Paediatric abdominal masses encompass a wide range of differential diagnoses including various inflammatory, benign and malignant aetiologies. A thorough clinical examination and imaging are the preliminary investigations of choice to ascertain the nature and extent of the abdominal mass. Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology (FNABC) is a rapid, reliable and cost-effective tool for the definitive diagnosis. In the present case, a 3-year-old child presenting with a gradually increasing large abdominal mass was subjected to FNABC.
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.
