E. Ballesteros et al., FINE-NEEDLE ASPIRATION DIAGNOSIS OF ENTEROGENOUS CYST OF THE ORBIT - A CASE-REPORT, Diagnostic cytopathology, 16(5), 1997, pp. 450-453
Enterogenous cyst is a benign lesion derived from misplaced endodermal
epithelium. We report the aspiration cytology findings of an orbital
cyst from a 32-year old woman. The smears contain benign-appearing cub
oidal glandular cells with focal mucinous features. Carcinoembryonic a
ntigen level in the cyst fluid was markedly elevated. These findings a
re consistent with recurrence of the enterogenous cyst initially diagn
osed 7 years earlier. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
