Abstract
Foregut duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, including the tongue. They are usually diagnosed by imaging studies; rarely, aspiration cytology is performed. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can help to differentiate foregut duplication cysts from other types of tongue lesions, such as dermoid cysts, lymphangiomas, or malignancies. Present report describes FNAC findings of this condition in a seven year old girl who presented with a painless swelling on the dorsal aspect of her tongue for the past 5 months.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cytology is the official Quarterly publication of the Indian Academy of Cytologists. It is in the 25th year of publication in the year 2008. The journal covers all aspects of diagnostic cytology, including fine needle aspiration cytology, gynecological and non-gynecological cytology. Articles on ancillary techniques, like cytochemistry, immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, molecular cytopathology, as applied to cytological material are also welcome. The journal gives preference to clinically oriented studies over experimental and animal studies. The Journal would publish peer-reviewed original research papers, case reports, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and debates.
