Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumor; fibrohistiocytic type, also called benign fi brous histiocytoma, is a rare reactive entity usually found incidental ly on routine chess roentgenography We present a case of inflammatory pseudotumor; fibrohistiocytic type, initially diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in a 39-yr-old woman with a history of brea st carcinoma. Cytomorphologic characteristics were confirmed by a cell block examination and immunohistochemical findings. The differential diagnoses of the fine-needle aspiration cytology of this type of infla mmatory pseudotumor are discussed Diagn.Cytopathol. 1998:19:216-220. ( C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
