ABSTRACT
Report is made of the fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytologic detection of a rare pulmonary metastasis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, a locally aggressive tumor with a low metastatic potential but a high propensity for recurrences. The cytologic findings paralleled those seen on tissue sections and were characterized by tissue fragments displaying a storiform pattern and slender, spindle-shaped cells. Histiocytic differentiation and mitotic figures were also detected in the cytologic preparations. It is concluded that metastatic dermatofibrosarcoma may be accurately diagnosed by FNA cytology.
