SCLEROSING LIPOGRANULOMA OF THE SCROTUM - REPORT OF A CASE WITH FINE-NEEDLE ASPIRATION BIOPSY FINDINGS

BACKGROUND: Sclerosing lipogranuloma of the scrotum is a rare granulom atous lesion of the subcutis. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no English-language reports dealing with its cytologic findings. CASE: A fine needle aspiration specimen from a mass in the scrotum in a 62-year-old male showed epithelioid cells, multinucleated giant cel ls and fibroblasts, which weve suggestive of sclerosing lipogranuloma. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology of the resected specimen. CO NCLUSION: Fine needle aspiration cytology is useful for the diagnosis of sclerosing lipogranuloma. It is important, however, to interpret th e fine needle aspiration cytology specimen in conjunction with the cli nical information.
