title: Liesegang rings in a submental mass: fine-needle aspiration with histologic correlation.
abstract: Liesegang rings are lamellated concretions commonly found in chronic cystic lesions that are inflamed, necrotic, fibrotic, or hemorrhagic. We report on an unusual case of a 14-yr-old girl with an acute, rapidly enlarging solid submental mass in which Liesegang rings were identified on aspirate smears.
