Jf. Stastny et al., TRANSITIONAL-CELL CARCINOMA METASTATIC TO CEREBROSPINAL-FLUID - PRESENTATION OF 2 CASES, Diagnostic cytopathology, 15(4), 1996, pp. 338-340
We present 11 specimens from 2 patients with transitional cell carcino
ma metastatic to the cerebrospinal fluid. This is a rare occurrence do
cumented in one previous report in which 5 patients had 28 specimens r
eviewed (Ehya et al., Acta Cytol 1981;25:599-610). Cytologic features
that most likely indicate a bladder origin are the cytoplasmic tails a
nd cytoplasmic pseudopod formation. (C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
