OBJECTIVE To describe the cytopathologic findings in a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) of the perineum in a 13-year-old girl and to compare the cytopathologic findings with the histopathologic and immunohistochemical features observed on the corresponding fragments obtained from core biopsy of the mass. METHODS The cytopathologic findings observed in fine needle aspiration biopsy of a vulvar mass were analyzed with reference to their predictive diagnostic value in pathologic evaluation of the lesion. RESULTS Following a prospective cytopathologic diagnosis of ARMS, a cutting needle core biopsy was performed. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical study of the tissue fragments confirmed the cytopathologic diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Careful cytopathologic evaluation of optimal cell samples from ARMS may elicit a correct diagnosis provided that immunocytochemical staining for markers of myogenic differentiation is performed in a pretherapeutic phase.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
