Aspiration cytodiagnosis of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
A case of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas is described in which the cytodiagnosis was made from aspirated material which was obtained under computed tomography (CT) guidance. The case presented further supports the view that aspiration cytodiagnosis of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (an uncommon pancreatic tumor) can be made with confidence when performed with imaging assistance.
