Klinička citologija - Posteri<br />

Non-epithelial tumor in abdominal cavity is less frequent finding than epithelial tumor<br />

regardless of site or primary or metastatic origin. Abdominal palpation discovers tumor<br />

mass occasionally; therefore visualization is possible by using imaging technologies.<br />

Ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) enables precise localization and tissue<br />

sampling by fine needle aspiration (FNA) for cytology analysis and additional diagnostic<br />

technologies. Material and methods: Data of 761 FNA of intraabdominal mass performed<br />

with CHIBA needle in last 10 years were analyzed. Tumor mass suitable for FNA were<br />

punctured in liver (335), pancreas (124), spleen (32) kidney (21), adrenal gland (7) and<br />

retroperitoneal and mesenterial lymph nodes (242). Smears were stained according<br />

to May-Grünwald-Giemsa and according to cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry<br />

methods. For differentiation of malignant lymphomas flow-cytometry immunofenotypisation,<br />

cytogenetic and/or molecular analysis (PCR) were additionally performed.<br />

Results: Out of total of 761 specimens malignant tumor was diagnosed in 532 (70%). Nonepithelial<br />

tumor was diagnosed in 154 (20%) - 21 sarcoma, 6 melanoma, 7 embriogenic<br />

tumors and 120 malignant lymphomas. Subtypes of sarcoma were determined based on<br />

cytomorphology and immunocytochemistry - 4 gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), 3<br />

liposarcoma, 2 rhabdomysarcoma, 2 leiomyosarcoma, 2 angiosarcoma, 1 fibrosarcoma<br />

and 7 samples were without subtype.<br />

Conclusion: US or CT guided FNA of abdominal tumor mass followed by cytoanalysis<br />

(cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry methods, flow-cytometry immunofenotypisation,<br />

cytogenetic and/or molecular analysis) is trustworthy diagnostic procedure for<br />

distinguishing non-epithelial from epithelial tumor and moreover for subtypisation of<br />

non-epithelial tumors.<br />
