Friedman, M.; Rao, U.; Fox, S.
Acta Cytologica 26(1): 39-43
1982
ISSN/ISBN: 0001-5547 PMID: 6175127 Document Number: 190425
The cytologic presentation in fine needle aspirates of 2 examples of metastatic balloon cell melanoma is described. These hypervacuolated cells may be misinterpreted as adenocarcinoma or liposarcoma. Intermediate forms between the classic nonvacuolated round melanoma cell and the ballooned melanoma cell are described.
