Cytologic diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma of the liver with fine-needle biopsy. 1991

Department of Pathology, Rhode Island Hospital, Providence.

We present the cytopathologic findings in seven cases of cavernous hemangiomas of the liver diagnosed by direct "squash" smears made on tissue obtained through image-guided fine-needle biopsy. The diagnosis in each case was confirmed histologically. Utilizing this simple cytologic technique, the morphologic findings in these common hepatic lesions are as accurate and diagnostic as histologic examination.
