Fine-needle aspiration cytology of granular cell tumor: A report of two cases
A 53-year-old female presented with a subcutaneous swelling in the anterior abdominal wall, below the right costal margin for 2 months. It was firm, non — tender and measured 3 × 2 cm. A clinical differential diagnosis of neurofibroma and lipoma was considered.\nIn both the patients, a palpation-guided FNAC was performed. The smears were stained with May–Grünwald–Giemsa (MGG) stain and Papanicolaou method. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain was done on one of the air-dried smear of case-2. Subsequently, both the patients underwent excisional biopsy. The histological sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) and PAS stains, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) performed with S-100, CD-68 and neuron specific enolase (NSE).
