Fine needle aspiration cytology of pseudosarcomatous reactive lesions of soft tissues: A report of two cases
A 29-year-old man presented with a firm mass measuring 2.2 × 2 cm in the upper neck of one week duration. FNAC was done. The aspirate was cellular and showed a polymorphous population of isolated and sheets of spindle cells with inflammatory cells consisting of lymphocytes, plasma cells, eosinophils and neutrophils. The nuclei of some of the cells were slender with pointed ends, while others had round to oval nuclei, with evenly distributed fine chromatin. A few muscle giant cells and ganglion-like cells of triangular to polyhedral shapes were seen. The background was myxoid. [] A diagnosis of NF was made. The mass resolved after three weeks with no further treatment.
