Fine needle aspiration cytology of a subcutaneous metastasis of a malignant Brenner tumor of the ovary. A case report.
The fine needle aspiration cytologic findings of a subcutaneous metastasis from a malignant Brenner tumor of the ovary are described. Polygonal cells in clusters and single cells with fine cytoplasmic elongations, moderately pleomorphic nuclei having granular chromatin and multinucleate cells, occasional but prominent grooving of nuclei and many mitotic figures were the salient cytologic features. The cytohistologic correlation was good. The rare metastatic site of this unusual ovarian neoplasm makes this an interesting case and the first of its kind to the best of our knowledge.
