Imprint cytology of pancreatoblastoma: a case report and review of the literature.
Pancreatoblastoma is a rare tumor with approximately 60 cases described in the English literature and only five case reports illustrating the cytologic findings, four by fine-needle aspiration cytology and one by imprint cytology. We herein report the sixth case diagnosed by imprint cytology. Both the cytologic and histopathologic literatures are reviewed, and the pathologic variations observed in our case are also documented.
