Abstract
The present work reports on the findings obtained by fine-needle aspir ation of two pilomatrixomas located on the upper limbs whose diagnosis was confirmed histologically. In both cases, the cytology disclosed a proliferation of small round basaloid cells that were dispersed and g rouped in clusters together with squamous cells and abundant multinucl eate giant cells. The differential diagnosis with other neoplasms is d iscussed. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
