title: Cytomorphologic findings in fine needle aspiration specimens of eosinophilic renal cell carcinoma.

We describe the morphologic criteria for the differential diagnosis of the types of renal cell carcinoma in fine needle aspiration cytology and discuss the role of this procedure in the diagnosis of the entity.
