Fine-needle aspiration cytology of juvenile hemangioma of the parotid gland: a case report.
A 4-mo-old child presented with a 20-day history of swelling of the left cheek. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy revealed a spindle-cell neoplasm with a bloody background. Subsequent surgical excision confirmed the presence of a juvenile hemangioma (juvenile hemangioendothelioma). The FNA biopsy and surgical pathology findings are presented along with a discussion of the differential diagnosis of this relatively rare neoplasm.
