Diagnosis of metastatic adamantinoma of the tibia by pulmonary brushing cytology.
A case of adamantinoma of the tibia metastatic to the lung is reported in which the metastatic lesion was initially diagnosed by pulmonary brushing cytology. The cytologic features, including clusters of small cells with either prominent nucleoli or spindle-shaped hyperchromatic nuclei, appear to be distinctive enough to differentiate this lesion from other metastatic malignant tumors of the lung.
