Abstract
Nuclear grooves have been described as a cytologic feature in a variet y of extrathyroid lesions. When a cytologic specimen demonstrates pr-e minent longitudinal nuclear grooving, a wide range of pathologic lesio ns should be considered To our knowledge, the two cases presented are the first report of longitudinal nuclear grooving described in cytolog ic preparations of malignant melanoma.
